browse graphicPreview graphic
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.

Supplemental Information
Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM).

Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description.

To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
