The data in this submission consists of three files. It represents all of the Caripol Phase I data spanning a period of 10 years on file at Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) as of July 1989. The data were submitted by Dr. Donald K. Atwood. These data were collected by many institutes in the United States, Caribbean, Central and South America. The data were collected in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. One file contains the data regarding amount of tar on the beaches. The data were collected from February 1979 to February 1989. Second file contains the dissolved and dispersed petroleum hydrocarbon data collected from November 1979 to February 1989. The third file contains the floating tar data collected from December 1979 to November 1987.
