Summary: | The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and bathythermograph (XBT) data were collected in Gulf of Mexico as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) and LATEX project funded by grant no MMS # 14-35-0001-30501. Data was collected from Ship GYRE. The data was collected over a period spanning from June 2, 1993 and June 24, 1993. Data was submitted by Mark Garner, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution and C116 Bathythermograph file format of NODC. Objective of LATEX A was to observe currents and waves, water properties (such as temperature, salinity and nutrients), and air-sea interaction over the Texas- Louisiana shelf, with the aim of providing data adequate to describe and better understand the circulation and transport of water, nutrients and other properties over that shelf.
