[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The hydrography data set is part of the overarching GulfCet II
study, Cetaceans, Sea Turtles and Seabirds in the Northern Gulf of Mexico:
Distribution, Abundance and Habitat Associations, which provides synoptic data
and analyses on the species diversity, abundance, and habitat characteristics
for cetaceans, sea turtles and seabirds in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Hydrographic data come from four ... View entire text

Project
Quality Because the two R/V Gyre cruises surveyed the northeastern Gulf in different
months in 1996 and 1997, between-cruise differences in MLD and 19 C depth
likely reflect within-season differences between mid-summer and late summer
rather than year-to-year differences. The May-June R/V Oregon II cruises,
however both surveyed the EPA at the same time of year (Julian days 151-161)
and since most of the R/V Oregon II hydrostations were co-located at the same
(or nearly identical) water depths and latitude-longitude positions,
differences in MLD and 19 C depth between the R/V Oregon II cruises do
represent year-to-year differences.
