Chemical, physical, profile and other oceanographic data collected aboard the NANCY FOSTER in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from 2010-06-30 to 2010-07-18 in response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill event (NODC Accession 0069077)

Chemical, physical, profile, biological, laboratory analysis, meteorological, navigational, tows and underway oceanographic data were collected aboard the NANCY FOSTER in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from 2010-06-30 to 2010-07-18 in response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill event on April 20, 2010, by the Subsurface Monitoring Unit (SMU), which consisted of multiple government and corporate agencies. These data include CDOM fluorescence, Semivolatile Organic Compounds, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH), Volatile Organic Compounds, conductivity, current speed - east/west component (U), current speed - north/south component (V), dissolved oxygen, hydrostatic pressure, plankton, salinity, sound velocity, temperature and water density. The instruments used to collect these data included ADCP, CTD, Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS), bathythermograph - XBT, bottle, fluorometer, oxygen meter and thermosalinographs along with other physical sampling devices. More specific information about each data set is located in their individual metadata records. The CTD data underwent preliminary quality assurance and control procedures at the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC). The analytical chemistry data are provisional and provide results of onshore laboratory analysis of water and sediment samples. The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler ADCP used sonar to measure and record water current velocities and the distribution of suspended material over a range of depths. Absolute U- and V-component ocean current vectors from the ADCP collected can be used to create detailed maps of the distribution of water currents and suspended materials through the water column along the ship's path. The data from this ADCP is raw and unprocessed. Some of the datasets associated with this instrument are still incomplete and will be published as they become available.

2010年4月20日发生深水地平线漏油事故，为应对该事件，由多家国营与私营机构组成的地下监测单元（Subsurface Monitoring Unit, SMU），于2010年6月30日至2010年7月18日期间，搭乘“南希·福斯特”号（NANCY FOSTER）调查船，在墨西哥湾与北大西洋海域收集了化学、物理、剖面、生物、实验室分析、气象、导航、拖曳及走航海洋学数据。这些数据涵盖有色溶解有机物（CDOM, Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter）荧光、半挥发性有机物、总石油烃（Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, TPH）、挥发性有机物、电导率、海流东/西向分量流速（U）、海流北/南向分量流速（V）、溶解氧、静水压、浮游生物、盐度、声速、水温与海水密度。用于采集上述数据的仪器包括声学多普勒流速剖面仪（Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, ADCP）、温盐深仪（Conductivity-Temperature-Depth, CTD）、多开合网与环境传感系统（Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System, MOCNESS）、投弃式温深仪（bathythermograph - XBT）、采水器、荧光计、溶氧仪、温盐仪及其他物理采样设备。各数据集的详细信息可查阅其对应的独立元数据记录。温盐深仪（CTD）数据已由国家海岸数据开发中心（National Coastal Data Development Center, NCDDC）完成初步质量保证与质量控制流程。分析化学数据为临时数据，提供了水样与沉积物样品的岸上实验室分析结果。声学多普勒流速剖面仪（ADCP）通过声呐测量并记录不同深度范围内的海流流速与悬浮物质分布。采集得到的ADCP绝对U、V分量海流矢量可用于绘制沿航迹方向、贯穿水柱的海流与悬浮物质分布精细图谱。该ADCP采集的数据为原始未处理数据，与此仪器相关的部分数据集仍未完成，待就绪后将正式发布。声学多普勒流速剖面仪（ADCP）通过声呐测量并记录不同深度范围内的海流流速与悬浮物质分布。采集得到的ADCP绝对U、V分量海流矢量可用于绘制沿航迹方向、贯穿水柱的海流与悬浮物质分布精细图谱。该ADCP采集的数据为原始未处理数据，与此仪器相关的部分数据集仍未完成，待就绪后将正式发布。数据管理人员收集了航次级相关信息，包括数据管理文档、航次报告与计划、视频与图片及其他各类杂项文档。（美国国家海洋数据中心（NODC）存档编号：0069077）
