The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | NOAA RESTORE Science Program: population connectivity of deepwater corals in the Northern Gulf of Mexico: conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) cast data from 2017-07-20 to 2018-09-22 (NCEI Accession 0243646) |
| Abstract: | Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) casts were conducted during project cruises on July 20 - August 8, 2017 and September 17-22, 2018. Casts were conducted using remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) -mounted CTD instruments at project sampling sites located in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (GoM) at depths between 50-2200m, from De Soto Canyon to the Flower Garden Banks, and further south to Keathley Canyon. Each cast contains water downcast and upcast column profile data (conductivity, temperature, and pressure) corresponding to the descent and ascent of the ROV in each dive. |

| Supplementary information: | Submission Package ID: HC61BL Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data were collected with ROV-mounted instruments as part of the Population Connectivity of Deepwater Corals in the Northern Gulf of Mexico project during the cruises RESTORE OP17 on July 20 - August 8, 2017 and RESTORE MT18 September 17-22, 2018. For the RESTORE OP17 cruise, the CTD system was mounted on the cage of the ROV Comanche, which was deployed from the MSV Ocean Project (both owned and operated by Oceaneering Inc.). The ROV dives took place at depths between 65-2200m, at sites within the Northern Gulf of Mexico, as far east as DeSoto Canyon, as far south and west as Keathley Canyon, and as far north as Roughtongue Reef. CTD data were collected using a Seabird Electronics SBE19 system. Data were recorded by the unit and downloaded after each dive (no real time data). No water sampling bottles were part of this system. The sensor attached to the CTD included: conductivity, temperature, and pressure. Only raw-data *.hex data files were available for this cruise, which are not included in this accession; image plots of the CTD casts for this cruise are included. For the RESTORE MT18 cruise, the CTD system was mounted on the frame of ROV Mohawk (operated by the University of North Carolina–Wilmington’s Undersea Vehicle Program and owned by the National Marine Sanctuaries Foundation), which was deployed from the NOAA Ship R/V Manta. The ROV dives took place at depths between 53-100m, at sites within the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico. CTD data were collected using a Seabird Electronics SBE49 FastCAT system. Data were recorded by the unit and downloaded after each dive (no real time data). No water sampling bottles were part of this system. The sensor attached to the CTD included: conductivity, temperature, and pressure. Data files for this cruise include *.hex with associated *.hdr and *.xmlcon files. |
