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: |
CTD, water quality, coccolith taxonomy, and microzooplankton abundance data collected from R/V Bellows cruise BE-1301 in the Gulf of Mexico from 2012-07-08 to 2012-07-10 (NCEI Accession 0175138) |
| Abstract: |
This dataset contains water quality, oxygen, conductivity, temperature, and depth data collected from 26 sites during R/V Bellows cruise BE-1301 for the offshore Florida Panhandle Bight at the head of DeSoto Canyon from July 8-10, 2012. Additionally, water samples were collected and analyzed for nutrient concentrations at the Wetlands Research Laboratory at the University of West Florida. Quantitative nanoplankton census data taken via scanning electron microscopy to determine after-the-fact, the effects of the Macondo Oil Spill on skeletal (coccolith)-bearing phytoplankton. This dataset also reports microzooplankton species abundance from 13 offshore shelf sites. Samples were collected by vertically towing a 10 micron mesh net through the photic zone. Samples were preserved in 2% Lugols Iodine fixative and were processed in the laboratory under an inverted compound microscope (200x magnification). Plankton samples were identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible. Abundances were recorded as individual counts as well as normalized abundance (i.e. number of each species/total number of specimens examined in sample). |
