Sea surface temperature and wind speed from drifting buoys in the Gulf of Mexico from 1993-01-09 to 1994-11-14 (NCEI Accession 9400226)
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The drifting buoy data was collected in Gulf of Mexico as part of Louisiana-Texas (LATEX part C) from January 9, 1993 and November 14, 1994.
Description
The originator's drifting buoy data in a tape was submitted by Ms Susan C. Root of Science Applications, Inc. Raleigh NC.
The study was supported by grant no MMS 14-35-0001-30633. LATEX is a three-part, $16.2 million federal initiative funded by the U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) of the Department of the Interior. The study was conducted to aid MMS in reducing risks associated with oil and gas operations on the continental shelf along the Texas and Louisiana coasts from the mouth of the Mississippi River to the Rio Grande.

Begun in September 1991, it was the largest physical oceanography program ever undertaken in the Gulf. The program consists of three major parts: LATEX A, B, and C, conducted by the Texas A&M University System (TAMUS), Louisiana State University (LSU), and Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC), respectively.
LATEX C was carried out by researchers at SAIC and the University of Colorado. Loop Current eddies, slope eddies, and squirts and jets within the Gulf of Mexico were located and tracked by air-deployed temperature profiling instruments and drifting buoys. Using these data, scientists assessed the impact of these Gulf-wide, circulation features on shelf circulation and identified the processes that interact with the shelf.
