BAROMETRIC PRESSURE and Other Data from PELICAN and Other Platforms (NCEI Accession 9400154)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 06, 2026 at 06:24 AM | Dataset Last Updated: July 24, 2023 at 12:00 AM
Data assigned to this accession was not retained by NCEI. There is no digital data available for this accession. The 'complete and final' representation of these observations are available in NCEI Accession 9600087. Barometric pressure and other data were collected in the Gulf of Mexico as part of the Louisiana-Texas (LATEX part B) Gulf of Mexico Eddy Circulation Study. LATEX B was carried out by researchers at Louisiana State University (LSU). Originator data from the R/V PELICAN cruise P942 was submitted to NODC by Ms. Marie Newman of LSU. LATEX is a three-part, $16.2 million federal initiative funded by the U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) of the Department of the Interior. The study was conducted to aid MMS in reducing risks associated with oil and gas operations on the continental shelf along the Texas and Louisiana coasts from the mouth of the Mississippi River to the Rio Grande. Begun in September 1991, it was the largest physical oceanography program ever undertaken in the Gulf. The program consists of three major parts: LATEX A, B, and C, conducted by the Texas A&M University System (TAMUS), Louisiana State University (LSU), and Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC), respectively.
