The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Current direction/velocity and other data from current meter, CTD casts, and other instruments in the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico as part of the Louisiana-Texas Shelf Physical Oceanography Program (LATEX) project, from 1992-04-19 to 1992-12-06 (NODC Accession 9700319) |
| Abstract: | Current direction/velocity, water temperature, air temperature, salinity, and other data were collected using current meter, CTD casts, and other instruments from R/V GYRE, ERICA TIDE, SEIS SURVEYOR, AND UNIVERSAL SURVEYOR in the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico. Data were collected from April 19, 1992 to December 6, 1994. Data were submitted by the University of Texas A&M as part of the Louisiana-Texas Shelf Physical Oceanography Program (LATEX) project. The LATEX project was sponsored by the Minerals Management Service (MMS) of the U.S. Department of the Interior. This package contains moored current meter and meteorological buoy data, CTD data, inverted echo sounder (IES), expendable bathythermograph (XBT), and expendable sound velocity profiler (XSV) data . Meteorological and current meter data reports are included on this disc. |
