Multiple Opening Closing Net Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS) instrument data for Cruise DP11 (R/V Point Sur PSXXX) in-situ deep seawater and associated fauna in the Gulf of Mexico from 2026-04-21 to 2026-05-03

The Multiple Opening Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System(s) (MOCNESS) deployed during the DEEPEND field program collects data (e.g., pressure, temperature, conductivity, volume filtered, horizontal and vertical velocity, latitude, and longitude) from several sensors while the instrument is in use. These data help characterize the environment and assess the orientation and speed of the MOCNESS. The flow and net angle can be used to calculate the volume of water filtered for each net. Data were collected during DP11 (R/V Point Sur PS21-13, cruise doi XXXX) 2026-04-21 - 2026-05-03. The biological, CTD, and ship data collected during this cruise are available in GRIIDC datasets: This dataset is a result of research funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's RESTORE Science Program (ROR - https://ror.org/0042xzm63) under award #NA24NOSX451C0002 to Nova Southeastern University.
