This dataset contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected by Texas A&M Geochemical and Environmental Research Group (TAMU GERG) from their in-situ moored station TABS-H, TABS H (TABSH), 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 Texas A&M Geochemical and Environmental Research Group (TAMU GERG) 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.
