Abstract
A 1-year in situ data collection experiment was designed to produce data for developing a better understanding of surficial gas hydrate formation and decomposition cycles and their possible links to oceanographic forcing. The in situ collected data indicate that intrusions of Loop Current water are not needed to force dissociation of surface and near-surface gas hydrates.
