The oceanographic community routinely collects time-series data of hydrographic properties (temperature and salinity) of the marine environment. Such data are essential for establishing baseline characteristics of marine and estuarine ecosystems. This hydrographic data is from CTDs and thermistors on a mooring line at a small coastal ocean observing site 25 kilometers southwest of the mouth of Mobile Bay, Alabama (30.0902 N 88.2116 W), that the Dauphin Island Sea Lab has been operating since 2004. These data were collected from December 12 2018 to May 16 2019. The thermistors sample every minute and are located at ~7.1; 9.5; 11.0; 13.2; and 16.1m. CTDs are located ~4.5; 19.2; and 20.1 m. Bottom CTD includes ODO.
