Current, wind, temperature, depth, and other data were collected from fixed platform at a dock of Keys Marine Laboratory from January 1, 1984 to December 31, 1996. Data were collected and submitted by HARBOR BRANCH OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTITUTION. These data were collected using current meters in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean.

Current direction and temperature data were collected using moored current meter casts in the Gulf of Mexico from June 13, 1979 to July 3, 1979. Data were submitted by National Ocean Service (NOS). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Current Meter Data (F005) format. The F005 format is used for time series measurements of ocean currents obtained using moored current-measuring instruments, principally Aanderaa current meters (manufactured by Aanderaa Instruments Inc.). These data represent the Eulerian method of current measurement, i.e., the meters are deployed at a fixed mooring point and measure flow past the sensor. Position, water depth, and sensor depth are reported for each station. The data record comprises values of current direction and speed at specified date and time. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering and are typically reported at 10-15 minute time intervals. Other environmental parameters may also be reported. These include: water temperature, salinity, conductivity, and transmissivity; wind direction and speed; and dominant wave direction, height, and period. A text field is available for optional comments.

Current components, physical, and other data were collected by moored current meters and CTD casts from the J. W. POWELL and other platforms from the Gulf of Mexico from 17 March 1993 to 28 May 1993. Data were collected by Texas A&M University (TAMU) as part of the Texas-Louisiana Shelf Circulation and Transport Processes Study (LATEX PART A). Data has been processed by NODC to the standard NODC F015-Current Meter Data (Components) and the F022-CTD High Resolutions formats. This F015 format is used for time series measurements of ocean currents. These data are obtained from current meter moorings and represent Eulerian method of current measurement, i.e., the meters are deployed at a fixed point and measure flow past a sensor. Position, bottom depth, sensor depth, and meter characteristics are reported for each station. The data record comprises values of east-west (u) and north-south (v) current vector components at specified date and time. Current direction is defined as the direction toward which the water is flowing with positive directions east and north and negative directions west and south. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering and are typically reported at 10-15 minute time intervals. Water temperature, pressure, and conductivity or salinity may also be reported. A text record is available for optional comments. The F022 format contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) and STD (salinity-temperature-depth) instruments. As they are lowered and raised in the oceans, these electronic devices provide nearly continuous profiles of temperature, salinity, and other parameters. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering or obtained by interpolation and may be reported at depth intervals as fine as 1m. Cruise and instrument information, position, date, time and sampling interval are reported for each station. Environmental data at the time of the cast (meteorological and sea surface conditions) may also be reported. The data record comprises values of temperature, salinity or conductivity, density (computed sigma-t), and possibly dissolved oxygen or transmissivity at specified depth or pressure levels. Data may be reported at either equally or unequally spaced depth or pressure intervals. A text record is available for comments.

Data consists of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiles recorded in NODC'S F004 format. The data were collected using an Ametek-Straza instrument aboard the R/V CAPE FLORIDA, cruise no. CF-8405 in May 1984. These data were collected by the University of Miami in the Gulf of Mexico and its part of years 1 and 2 of SAIC'S Mineral Management Service (MMS) sponsored Gulf of Mexico Physical Oceanography Program. This program was funded under MMS contract number 14-12-0001-29158. The data were recorded in ASCII format and submitted by Dr. Evans Waddell. The F004 format is used for data from measurements and analyses of physical and chemical characteristics of the water column. Among chemical parameters that may be recorded are salinity, pH, and concentration of oxygen, ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, chlorophyll, and suspended solids. Physical parameters that may be recorded include temperature, density (sigma-t), transmissivity, and current velocity (east-west and north-south components). Cruise and station information, including environmental conditions of the study site at the time of observations, is also included.

This dataset contains hydrographic data from CTDs and thermistors on a mooring line located 25 kilometers southwest of the mouth of Mobile Bay, Alabama (30.0902 N 88.2116 W) collected from 2019-10-04 to 2020-02-28. Thermistors sample every minute. Thermistors were at depths: ~7.2; 9.6; 11.2; 13.3; 16.2 and 18.2m CTDs sample at 2 minutes. CTD were at depths: ~4.7; 19.2; and 20.3 m.

This publication contains Drift Bottle data with current direction and other data collected from the Gulf of Mexico. The data was collected from February 17, 1962 to November 20, 1963 by National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS), Gloucester, MA. These data were submitted by R.F. Temple.

A Minerals Management Service (MMS) program entitled Survey of Deepwater Currents in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, awarded to Evans-Hamilton, Inc. This data set includes physical oceanographic data from CTD and ADCP moorings deployed in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico from January 19, 2005 to January 28, 2006. The data are in ASCII forms subjected to quality control and quality assurance procedures.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD); and bathythermograph (XBT) data were collected as part of Distribution/Abundance of Marine Mammals in Gulf of Mexico (GULFCET I) funded by grant no MMS 14-35-0001-30619. The data was collected over two year period spanning from April 15, 1992 to December 12, 1993. Data from 239 casts of CTD and 566 XBT drops was submitted via internet by Dr. Giulietta Fargion of Texas A&M University, Galveston, TX.
