Meteorological data from oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico from 1981-01-01 to 1982-01-01 (NCEI Accession 8200219)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 07:30 AM | Dataset Last Updated: February 08, 2023 at 12:00 AM
This dataset includes gulf offshore weather observation network (gowon) data from FIXED PLATFORM OF UNITED STATES in the Gulf of Mexico from 1981-01-01 to 1982-01-01. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Gulf Offshore Weather Observation Network (GOWON) (F192) format. The F192 format has been generated to accept oil company meteorological and oceanographic data. Parameters include barometric pressure, air temperature, wind direction, wind speed, wind gust, significant wave height, maximum wave height, and wave period.
