The conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) and Bathythermograph (XBT) data was collected in Gulf of Mexico from ships GYRE cruises 95G01 & 94P12 and J. W. POWELL cruise 94P12 as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research Program. The data was collected from October 12, 1994 to February 2, 1995. The originator's CTD and XBT data was submitted on one diskette by Dr. Edward Webb of Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. the study was funded by grant MMS # 14-35-0001-30501.

Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bathythermograph (XBT) (C116) format. The C116/C118 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 record was comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. Unlike the MBT Data File, in which temperature values were recorded at uniform 5 m intervals, the XBT data files contained 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. With special instruments, measurements can be obtained to 1830 m. Prior to July 1994, XBT data were routinely processed to one of these standard types. XBT data are now processed and loaded directly in to the NODC Ocean Profile Data Base (OPDB). Historic data from these two data types were loaded into the OPDB.

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.

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 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.
