Multiple Opening Closing Net Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS) instrument data for Cruise DP07 (R/V Point Sur PS21-13) in-situ deep seawater and associated fauna in the Gulf of Mexico from 2021-04-25 to 2021-05-06

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 DP07 (R/V Point Sur PS21-13, cruise doi https://doi.org/10.7284/909100) 2021-04-25 - 2021-05-06. The biological, CTD, and ship data collected during this cruise are available in GRIIDC datasets NO.x959.000:0012 (underway ADCP, https://doi.org/10.7266/8DPG0DRY), NO.x959.000:0004 (CTD, https://doi.org/10.7266/717AC8SA), and NO.x959.000:0005 (fauna inventory, https://doi.org/10.7266/941JKZCZ). 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 #NA19NOS4510193 to Nova Southeastern University.
