Oceanographic profiles from CTD casts and tow-yos collected from the R/V Point Sur during GoMix I cruise (PS17_06) in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2016-09-19 to 2016-09-27

This dataset contains CTD data collected from the R/V Point Sur during September 2016 GoMix I cruise (PS17_06, cruise DOI https://doi.org/10.7284/909424). The experimental site is on the continental slope of the northern Gulf of Mexico, next to the Deepwater Horizon Spill site. During the cruise, there were 3 meridional and 18 zonal sections of CTD tow-yo's. For each tow-yo, 8 to 46 vertical profiles were collected depending on the time length of the tow-yo. The rest were CTD stations. The CTD used was a SEA-BIRD 911plus/917plus double sensor. The high-resolution data are available both in ASCII format and Matlab format. 1-m bin averaged files are created separately to generate the bin-averaged profiles and saved as Matlab files.
