This dataset contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected by Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) from their in-situ moored station LUMCON-103, Western Lake Ponchartrain, LA (LKPL1), in the Coastal Waters of Gulf of America, Coastal Waters of Louisiana, and 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 Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) 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.
