Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Water temperature, salinity, and other parameters taken by CTD and underway water and atmospheric parameters from research vessels Trident, Pelican, Earl L. Milan, and Point Sur in and around Galveston Bay, Gulf of Mexico from 2017-09-27 2018-06-21 (NCEI Accession 0204989)

Preview graphic

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and other parameters taken by CTD and underway water and atmospheric parameters that sample the freshwater plume created by the events of Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Sensor data were collected from CTD rosette, hand-held CTD, undulating towed vehicle, and ship computer flow-through system (SCS). Data are in netcdf.
