The water depth and temperature data were collected in Coastal Waters of Gulf of Mexico, NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) as part of Louisiana-Texas (LATEX part C) Gulf of Mexico Eddy Circulation Study from CAPE HENLOPEN, and DRIFTING PLATFORM between August 13, 1992 and June 5, 1993. The originator's CTD and ARGOS tracked drifting buoy data containing 2,821 records were submitted by Dr. Thomas Berger, 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. The data is currently available in F022-CTD-Hi-Resolution and F156-Drifting-Buoy file formats of NODC.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) as part of Physical Oceanography Field Program offshore North Carolina supported by grant MMS #14-35-0001-30599. Data was collected from Ship SEAWARD EXPLORER cruises SE9301, SE9303, and SE9309. The data was collected over a period spanning from February 6, 1993 and August 28, 1993. Data from 146 stations containing 7,614 records was submitted on a tape by Dr. Thomas Berger, Science Applications, Inc., Raleigh NC. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

This is German Surface Physical & Chemical Data submitted by Deutsches Hydrographische Institut. This data was collected in the Labrador Sea from January 6, 1974 to August 16, 1974. There is no documentation or description of the source code format. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bathythermograph (MBT) (C128) format. The C128 format is used for temperature-depth profile data obtained using the mechanical bathythermograph (MBT) instrument. The maximum depth of MBT observations is approximately 285 m. Therefore, MBT data are useful only in studying the thermal structure of the upper layers of the ocean. Cruise information, date, position, and time are reported for each observation. The data record comprises pairs of temperature-depth values. Temperature data in this file are recorded at uniform 5 m depth intervals.

This dataset contains data submitted on a floppy disk. The six day cruise was conducted aboard USS Hewitt. The bathythermograph (XBT) data was collected between November 1, 1990 and November 6, 1990. The data were sent from the cruise ships to the Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center, Monterey CA, via radio messages. This data was submitted by Mr. Paul Stevens. On April 13, 2005 the data was offline so its current NODC format is not known.

Temperature profiles were collected from XBT casts from the YELCHO from 11 April 1979 to 05 May 1979. Data were collected by Texas A&M University (TAMU) as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / International Ocean Studies / First Dynamic Response and Kinematics Experiment in the Drake Passage (IDOE/ISOS/FDRAKE). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT) format. The UBT format contains temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Cruise information, position, date and time were reported for each observation. The data records are comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. The XBT data files contain temperature values at non-uniform depths. These depths were recorded at the minimum number of points ("inflection points") required to accurately define the temperature curve. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of either 450 or 760 m. Special instruments permit measurements to be obtained to 1830 m.

The water depth and temperature data were collected in Gulf of Mexico as part of Louisiana-Texas (LATEX part C) Gulf of Mexico Eddy Circulation Study from aircraft between October 15, 1994 and November 15, 1994. The originator's bathythermograph aerial (AXBT) and Airborne Expendable Current Profiler (AXCP) data were submitted by Dr. Thomas Berger, 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.
