Louisiana Hypoxia Surveys 2006: Biological, chemical, and physical data collected off the coast of Louisiana as part of the Hypoxia Studies in the Northern Gulf of Mexico project in 2006 (NCEI Accession 0049435)

browse graphicPreview graphic
Two sets of CTD data were taken during the 2006 surveys of the Louisiana continental shelf. Hydrographic data were obtained with the LUMCON SeaBird 911+ CTD system, and a Hydrolab Surveyor 3 or YSI 6820. Nutrient, pigment, suspended sediment, surface salinity, secchi depth and station information data were also acquired.

Supplemental Information
The NOAA/NOS Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research funded the collection of these data under grants NA03NOS4780037, NA03NOS4780038, and NA06NPS4780197.
Purpose The physical, biological and chemical data collected are part of a long-term coastal Louisiana dataset. The goal is to understand physical and biological processes that contribute to the causes of hypoxia and use the data to support environmental models for use by resource managers.
