Abstract:

This dataset includes the underway ship raw navigation and meteorological data collected aboard R/V Point Sur cruise PS18-25 in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2018-05-18 to 2018-05-24. The purpose of this cruise was to collect undisturbed sediment cores from areas to the south and southeast of the Deepwater Horizon spill site. The data includes GPS information, ship position and heading, wind direction and speed, barometric pressure, relative humidity, and temperature.
