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)
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. 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. These data files are in NODC F156 format. Documentation of this format and the codes used in this format are available in the about/ directory of this accession. 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.

Drifting buoy data as part of the Physical Oceanography Field Program Offshore North Carolina in the NW Atlantic from 1992-05-01 to 1993-06-13 (NCEI Accession 9300136)
공공데이터포털
The drifting buoy data in this accession was collected over a one year period from buoys deployed by Science Applications, Inc., Raleigh NC in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W). The data was collected as part of Physical Oceanography Field Program Offshore North Carolina MMS contract # 14-35-0001-30599 from May 1, 1992 to June 13, 1993. This data type contains time series ocean circulation data determined by tracking the movement of drifting buoys, drogues or other instrumented devices. Movement is reported as point-to-point geographic locations determined by shore-based, surface ship, aircraft or satellite observations. Data from both ocean currents and sea ice movement can be reported in this format over time periods ranging from minutes to months. Directions and speeds between individual observations may be computed from these data and presented in graphic or summary listing form to provide information on circulation patterns and mass transport in offshore and nearshore regions. Platform name (for platform acquiring data or deploying device), drogue characteristics, start and end positions and times, and observation frequency (if constant time interval) are reported for each series of observations. The data record comprises position, date and time for each observation. Other surface meteorological or oceanographic parameters (e.g., water temperature and salinity, air temperature and pressure, wind, waves) and subsurface data (depth, pressure, temperature) may also be reported. Text records may be used to report general comments or to describe individual drogue observations. 25 files of water depth and other drifting buoy data submitted by Dr. Thomas Berger has been processed by NODC and is currently available in F156 Drifting Buoy file format.

The drifting buoy data from 28 drifting buoys in this accession was collected as part of Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) over a one year period between August 1, 1992 and September 30, 1993. Six French BODEGA drifters (SERPE-IESM, GUIDEL, 56, FRANCE TRISTAR) were deployed in August 1992 along the 165E meridian and in September 1992 along 156E. Seventeen additional BODEGA surface drifters were deployed in December 1992 and January/February 1993 from R/V Le Noroit along 156E, 4S-5N during the COARE Intensive Observation Period. Deployments were coordinated with a set of surface drifters that were released by Peter Niiler from the University of California, San Diego. Data was submitted by Yves Du Penhoat, Office de la Recherche Scientifique et Technique Outre Mer (ORSTOM), Noumea, New Caledonia via FTP. The data is accompanied by good description regarding format etc.
