Impact/Purpose:
This data report summarizes oceanographic data collected in the northern Gulf of Mexico as part of EPA's Gulf Hypoxia Research Program. It contains a variety of graphical and tabulated summaries of the data.
Description:
The work described in this report summarizes the data collected during 12 oceanographic cruises conducted from 2002-2007. The project was supported by the US EPA Office of Research and Development, in partnership with the US EPA Gulf of Mexico Program Office, the Office of Water, and Regions 4 and 6. The sampling domain largely covered the area of the shelf affected by summer hypoxia as defined by LUMCON July surveys. The field component of this project was a major effort of Gulf Ecology Division (GED) staff; starting in December 2002 and extending until August 2007, during which time a total of 12 surveys were conducted.
