This entry contains the results from the Outer Continental Shelf study (OCS) benchmark study in the North Atlantic which ran during the month of May 77 from the R/V GYRE. These data were submitted by Energy Resources Co., Inc. in fulfillment of BLM contract #AA550-CT6-51. This tape contains eleven files with different file types and therefore different reference numbers. A description of the files and a listing of the reference numbers is available. Documentation describes methods of observation and instruments used, units in which measurements are taken, including analytical methods and laboratory procedures used to analyze data.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and Bathythermograph (XBT) data were collected in Gulf of Mexico as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) project funded by grant no MMS # 14-35-0001-30501. Data was collected from Ship GYRE cruise 92G08. The data was collected over a period spanning from October 19, 1994 and October 25, 1994. Data from 15 XBT drops and 54 CTD drops was submitted in one diskette by Dr. Edward Webb of Texas A&M University, College Station, TX.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and Bathythermograph (XBT) data were collected in Gulf of Mexico as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) project funded by grant no MMS # 14-35-0001-30501. Data was collected from Ship GYRE cruise 94G05. The data was collected over a period spanning from July 18, 1994 and July 20, 1994. Data was submitted in two diskettes by Dr. Douglas C. Biggs, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX via Eddie Webb. Data from 9 CTD stations containing 18,570 records has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC. F022 High-resolution CTD data is collected from high resolution (conductivity-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 1 m. 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.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and Bathythermograph (XBT) data were collected in Gulf of Mexico as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) project. Data was collected from Ship GYRE. The data was collected over a one year period spanning from January 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993. Data was submitted in one diskette by Dr. Edward Webb, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and Bathythermograph (XBT) data were collected in Gulf of Mexico as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) program. The study including 12 stations and 33 drops was supported by grant no: MMS 14-35-0001-30501. Data was collected from cruise 93G03 Ship GYRE. The data was collected over a period spanning from March 9, 1993 to March 19, 1993. Data was submitted in a diskette by Dr. Edward Webb, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution and C116-Bathythermograph-XBT file formats of NODC.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and bathythermograph (XBT) data were collected in Gulf of Mexico as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) and LATEX project funded by grant no MMS # 14-35-0001-30501. Data was collected from Ship GYRE. The data was collected over a period spanning from June 2, 1993 and June 24, 1993. Data was submitted by Mark Garner, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution and C116 Bathythermograph file format of NODC. Objective of LATEX A was to observe currents and waves, water properties (such as temperature, salinity and nutrients), and air-sea interaction over the Texas- Louisiana shelf, with the aim of providing data adequate to describe and better understand the circulation and transport of water, nutrients and other properties over that shelf.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and Bathythermograph (XBT) data were collected as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) program. One week of data was collected from Gulf of Mexico using Ship GYRE. The data was collected over a period spanning from March 2, 1991 to March 9, 1991. Data was collected as part of a study supported by grant MMS # 14-35-0001-30501 to Dr. Douglas C. Biggs and was submitted by Dr. Edward Webb of Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution and C116-Bathythermograph-XBT file format of NODC.

The water depth and temperature data was collected from 26 different ships by the Argentine Oceanographic Data Center (AODC) within the Argentine Continental Shelf. The data was collected from May 24, 1954 to December 17, 1993. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT and MBT) data was submitted by Dr. Adolfo J g. Villanueva, AODC, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Format documentation is provided with the data.
