Abstract:

R/V Pelican: PE14-20 Hydrographic (CTD) Data, Gulf of Mexico (GC600 and AT357), GC600 and AT357. Five conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) casts made from the R/V Pelican in the northern Gulf of Mexico in lease blocs GC600 and AT357 in conjunction with and support of ongoing mooring and deep sea lander experiments.
