Abstract:

Hydrographic data were collected during cruise EN559 using a CTD-rosette system aboard the R/V Endeavor. 53 conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) casts were made from the R/V Endeavor in the northern Gulf of Mexico in lease blocks GC600 and GC767 from May 29, 2015 to June 21, 2015 in conjunction with and support of ECOGIG water column research.
