Description:This report summarizes the April 16 - May 5, 2009 cruise on the R/V Ronald H Brown involving full-water-column CTD and lowered ADCP profiles, along with shipboard ADCP profiles, conducted within the Florida Straits, the Northwest Providence Channel, and east of Abaco Island, Bahamas. A package consisting of a Seabird Electronics Model 9/11+ CTD O2 system, a RDI 150 kHz Workhorse Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, a RDI 300 kHz Workhorse Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, and 23 10-liter Niskin bottles, was to be lowered to the bottom. This report includes a description of the calibrations procedures and profiles of pressure, salinity (conductivity), temperature, and dissolved oxygen concentration. Water samples were also collected at various depths and analyzed for salinity and oxygen concentration to aid with CTD calibration. A total of 60 CTD-O2/LADCP stations were occupied. PIES/CPIES operations were conducted from 5 sites, involving deployment and telemetry. Mooring operations include recovery of six moorings with a mixture of current meters, Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs), and temperature/salinity recorders, and two bottom landers with bottom pressure recordings. Seven moorings and two bottom landers were deployed. As a part of NOAA's contribution to the Global Surface Drifter Program six surface drifters were deployed.
