This data package contains CTD and underway data from R/V Point Sur cruise PS17-08 in support of glider and minilander operations in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The data were collected 2016-10-05 to 2016-10-09 and include two CTD 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.
