This data package contains CTD and underway data from R/V Point Sur cruise PS16-18 in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The data were collected 2015-12-08 to 2015-12-11 and include six stations; vessel-mounted ADCP current measurements; and navigation, atmospheric, and surface water measurements from the vessel underway sensors. Measured variables include temperature, salinity, current velocities, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence, air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and barometric pressure.
