Gulf of Mexico hydrographic and cetacean data from Texas A&M from 1987-04-02 to 1995-08-30 (NCEI Accession 9500157)
The dataset contains Texas A&M University (TAMU) Gulfcet CTD; XBT; and distribution and abundance of cetaceans (whales and dolphins) data collected along the continental slope in the north-central and western Gulf of Mexico. The data was collected over 9 years spanning from April 2, 1987 through August 30, 1995. Additionally, a 46 cruise data archive of TAMU hydrography asked for by NODC was sent by Dr. Douglas C. Biggs. David Brandon sent NODC GulfCet data as a companion data set. NODC agreed to put this data on a CD-ROM.
The data files are divided into two data groups: TAMU-GULFCET and TAMU-OCEANOGRAPHY. Data are reported from 256 CTD and 580 XBT stations in the TAMU-GULFCET section and from 695 CTD and 707 XBT stations in the TAMU-OCEANOGRAPHY section.
