To investigate this, the USGS participated in cruises on the West Florida Shelf and northern Gulf of Mexico regions aboard the research vessel (R/V) Weatherbird II or Bellows, ships of opportunity led by Dr. Kendra Daly, of the University of South Florida (USF) in July and August, 2013. Cruises left from and returned to Saint Petersburg, Florida, but followed different routes. The USGS collected geochemical data pertaining to pH, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total carbon dioxide (TCO2), and total alkalinity (TA) in discrete samples at various depths from predetermined stations. Discrete surface samples were also taken, while in transit, during both cruises. Purpose: Discrete water samples were collected underway and at stations. Water samples were analyzed at the USGS geochemistry laboratory in St. Petersburg, Florida. Data were collected during USGS field activity number (FAN) 13BHM01 and 13BHM02; additional survey details are available at http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/. This data release contains data for two benthic habitat cruises conducted in 2013: 13BHM01, July 8-12 (R/V Bellows) and 13BHM02, August 5-11 (R/V Weatherbird II). Supplemental_Information: The USGS Saint Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) - St. Petersburg, FL, assigns a unique identifier to each cruise or field activity. For example, 13BHM01 indicates the data were collected in 2013 for Benthic Habitat Mapping and the data were collected during the first field activity for that project in that calendar year.
