Resource Abstract:
- description: Profile and underway oceanographic data were collected aboard NOAA Ship GORDON GUNTER in the Gulf of Mexico from
2010-07-21 to 2010-07-24 in response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill event on April 20, 2010, by the Subsurface Monitoring
Unit (SMU), which consisted of multiple government and corporate agencies. These data include current speed - east/west component
(U) and current speed - north/south component (V). The instruments used to collect these data included ADCP along with other
physical sampling devices. More specific information about each data set is located in their individual metadata records.
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. This data set also contains products created for use
in real time analysis and decision support. These products may include charts, graphs, maps, plots, and GIS formatted data
files. Cruise level information consisting of data management documents, cruise reports and plans, videos and pictures, and
other miscellaneous documentation were gathered by the data managers. (NODC Accession 0081186); abstract: Profile and underway
