Research Cruise in Gulf of Mexico Collecting Data for Red Tide Circulation Modeling

During the cruise, scientists took nutrient and Red Tide (Karina brevis) water samples from 10 locations, conducted  7 CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth) sensor casts, and deployed bottom mounted sensor packages. The team also deployed one surface drifter for circulation model verification.  Five research training dives, including night dives, were completed so that new scientific divers are trained and ready to work in the field.
