CTD and plankton abundance data collected from R/V Bellows cruise BE-1407 in the Gulf of Mexico from 2013-12-07 to 2013-12-08 (NCEI Accession 0178026)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: October 13, 2025 | Last Modified: 2018-11-08T00:00:00.000+00:00
This dataset contains plankton abundance, CTD, and water quality data collected from 18 stations during R/V Bellows cruise BE-1407 in the Gulf of Mexico from 2013-12-07 to 2013-12-08. Plankton samples were collected from 10 offshore shelf sites. This dataset reports the location, date, time, and length of tow for each sample. Plankton species were categorized as Ceratium spp., Dinophysis spp., other dinoflagellates, Chaetoceros/Bacteriastrum spp., Rhizosolenia/Guinardia spp, Eucampia/Hemiaulus spp., other chain-forming diatoms, Thalassionematales spp., Nitzschioid diatoms, other diatoms, Cyanobacteria (Trichodesmium spp.), and zooplankton. Abundances were recorded as individual counts as well as percentages of the total sample. Water column profiles were collected at 18 stations and the data includes CTD, dissolved oxygen, oxygen saturation, Chlorophyll-a, and Color Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) fluorescence and turbidity measurements.
