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: | Chemical and physical oceanographic profile data collected aboard the GORDON GUNTER in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010-07-02 to 2010-07-06 in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill event (NODC Accession 0069068) |
| Abstract: | Chemical and physical oceanographic profile data were collected aboard the GORDON GUNTER in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010-07-02 to 2010-07-06 in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill event on April 20, 2010, by the Subsurface Monitoring Unit (SMU), which consists of multiple government and corporate agencies. These data include conductivity, current speed - east/west component (u), current speed - north/south component (v), dissolved oxygen, hydrostatic pressure, salinity, sound velocity, temperature and water density. The instruments used to collect these data were ADCP, CTD and oxygen meter. The CTD data underwent preliminary quality assurance and control procedures at the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC). The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler ADCP used sonar to measure and record water current velocities and the distribution of suspended material over a range of depths. Absolute U- and V-component ocean current vectors from the ADCP collected can be used to create detailed maps of the distribution of water currents and suspended materials through the water column along the ship's path. The data from this ADCP is raw and unprocessed. Some of the datasets associated with this instrument are still incomplete and will be published as they become available. (NODC Accession 0069068) |
