Radar data collected in the northern Gulf of Mexico, Mobile Bay river plume, April 4-10, 2016

Data was collected on board the R/V Pelican during Leg 2 of the 2016 spring campaign (April 4-10, 2016) in the vicinity of the Mobile Bay river plume in the northern Gulf of Mexico. River plume fronts were observed on multiple occasions. There was also a wind event which drastically changed stratification. Data in this collection: X-Band Radar tuned to detect fronts; data collected simultaneously in other collections: shipboard flow-through, shipboard navigation, and shipboard meteorological (GRIIDC dataset R4.x260.000:0020); ADCP (GRIIDC dataset R4.x260.000:0010); CTD (74 casts) (GRIIDC dataset R4.x260.000:0018); Chameleon microstructure (~4000 casts) (GRIIDC dataset R4.x260.000:0019); Biosonics acoustics (GRIIDC dataset R4.x260.000:0022); SST; and a bow temperature/salinity chain.
