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 as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) project. Data was collected from Ship GYRE cruises 95G02 & 95G03 and R/V ANTARES cruise 95A03. The data was collected over a period spanning from April 1, 1995 and June 18, 1995. Data was submitted on two diskettes by Dr. Douglas C. Biggs, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Gulf of Mexico as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) project. Data was collected from Ship GYRE cruise 93G01. The data was collected over a period spanning from January 6, 1993 and January 14, 1993. Data from 28 casts was submitted in one diskette by Dr. Edward Webb, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected from Gulf of Mexico. R/V Gyre was used to collect data by Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. The data was collected over two week period between July 11-23, 1990. Data was submitted by Dr. Davis Murphy. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and transmissivity data were collected in Gulf of Mexico as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) program (NODC project code 0215) east of Galveston, utilizing a SEABIRD CTD - model SBE9 and a 25cm SEATECH transmissometer. Data was collected from Ship GYRE. The data was collected over a period spanning from April 1, 1992 to April 9, 1992. Data was submitted on a 5-1/4" diskette by Mr David J. Voegele, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. 26 files were submitted in ASCII with header information included for each file; data were averaged over 1-meter intervals. The documentation includes the data record format. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

The water depth and temperature data were collected in the Gulf of Mexico as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) program from ship GYRE between May 17, 1992, and June 4, 1992. The program was funded by a grant to Dr. DOUGLAS C. BIGGS MMS # 14-35-0001-30501. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data containing 28 profiles were submitted on a diskette by Mr. David J. Voegele, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. The data are temperature-depth profiles obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Cruise information, position, date and time were reported for each observation. The data record was 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. The data also have been converted and are available in the C116 (XBT) file format.

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.
