Hydrographic Data from the Louisiana-Texas Continental Shelf of the Gulf of Mexico. Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) Cruise 92G-10: Galveston, TX., to Pensacola, FL

摘要

GYRE cruise 92G-10 was supported by the Department of Oceanography at Texas A&M University for the purpose of graduate student training and geochemical research. From 2-5 October 1992, 20 CTD casts were made at 5 + 4 + 5 + 3 stations along 4 cross-shelf transects as GYRE proceeded east from Galveston, TX, to Atchafalaya Bay, LA. Additional CTD casts were made at 6 stations, in the vicinity of the Mississippi River delta on 5-6 October, before the cruise terminated at Pensacola, FL. Bottles tripped at 2-12 depths at these CTD stations were analyzed on board for salinity, dissolved oxygen, autoanalyzer nutrients, and chlorophyll + phaeopigments.
