Abstract

Coastal LouisianA Silicon Cycling (CLASiC) 1-m binned CTD data collected aboard the R/V Pelican during PE17-04 (late summer 2016) and 17-20 (May 2017) along the Northern Gulf of Mexico, specifically the Louisiana Shelf region dominated by the discharge of the Mississippi River plume.

Spatial Extent: N:29.07 E:-89.45 S:28.26 W:-91.61
Temporal Extent: 2016-08-28 - 2017-05-12

Multiple hydrocasts were conducted at stations denoted in the bottle-file metadata. A SeaBird CTD was used with sensors for the following measurements: conductivity/salinity, temperature, pressure, dissolved oxygen, water transmission/attenuation, chlorophyll a fluorescence and photosynthetically active radiation. All hydrocast data were processed to 1-m bins.
