This dataset contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected by BHP Billiton, British Petroleum, Murphy Exploration and Production Company, and Woodside Energy from their in-situ moored station wmo-42932, 42932 - Deepwater Invictus - GC868 (42932), in the Gulf of America. The data files are in netCDF format, following the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). GCOOS, which assembles data from BHP Billiton, British Petroleum, Murphy Exploration and Production Company, and Woodside Energy and other sub-regional coastal and ocean observing systems of the Gulf of America coastal United States, submitted the data to NCEI as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program.
