Metadata Updated: October 27, 2025

The Louisiana-Texas Shelf Physical Oceanography Program (LATEX) was sponsored by the Minerals Management Service (MMS) of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Of its three study units, the Texas-Louisiana Shelf Circulation and Transport Processes Study (LATEX A or LATEX Shelf) was conducted by the Texas A&M University System. The LATEX A field program ran from April 1992 to December 1994. The study area encompassed the Texas-Louisiana continental shelf offshore of approximately the 10-m isobath, from the Mississippi River to the Rio Grande. The five major field components were: moored current meter measurements, drifting buoys, hydrography, acoustic Doppler current profiling (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP)), and meteorological buoys.
