NODC Standard Product: Gulf of Mexico hydrographic data and marine mammal data (NCEI Accession 0095924)
This CD-ROM was produced in cooperation with the Texas A&M University (TAMU), Department of Oceanography. It includes hydrographic and marine mammal sighting data for the Gulf of Mexico. The marine mammal data is from the GulfCet Program sponsored by the U.S. Minerals Management Service and headquartered at the TAMU Galveston Campus.
The files on this CD-ROM are divided into two data groups: AMU-GULFCET and TAMU-OCEANOGRAPHY. The TAMU-GULFCET hydrographic data were collected in 1992-1993 by researchers from the Texas Institute of Oceanography and TAMU-Galveston during the course of a field program to study the distribution and abundance of cetaceans (whales and dolphins) in the north-central and western Gulf of Mexico. The GULFCET/MAMMALS files contain cetacean sighting data from eight seasonal aerial surveys, four spring ship surveys conducted by the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service, and seven TAMU ship surveys.
The TAMU-OCEANOGRAPHY hydrographic data were collected over a broader area of the Gulf of Mexico during the period 1987-1995. The data have been drawn together from 46 cruises over the 9-year period and consist of CTD, XBT, and bottle data as well as some processed data parameters such as dynamic height and splined XBT data.
