[2010]

The R/V Brooks McCall departed from Port Fourchon, LA, on May 18, 2010, to collect data in the Gulf of Mexico, Mississippi Canyon. The data was gathered at Data Sampling Stations: B27, B29, B30, B31, B32, B33, B34, B35, B36, B37, B38, B39, B40, B41. The data collected included water column profiles from a CTD associated with water sampling. The profile of physical oceanographic data included: conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD); dissolved oxygen (DO); fluorometry; and salinity. Water column samples included Total Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) - as Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH_1L), Volatile Organics (VOA), and Dissolved Oxygen with LaMotte. Grab samples were also collected of surface oil - when present. Continuous data was collected underway using a Turner C3 Submersible Fluorometer. Fluorometry, Rototoxicity, and Laser In-Situ Scattering and Transmissometery (LISST) readings were collected for the detection and delineation of the dispersed oil plume. The collection includes operational documents, which may include some or all of the following: cruise plans, daily reports, final reports, operational photographs and products developed during the cruise to guide operational decisions. Products may include geospatial data files, maps, charts and/or data plots or graphs. Datasets associated with this cruise will be processed and published as they become available.
