Oceanographic and meteorological data collected by R/V Manta in the Gulf of Mexico from 2015-06-08 to 2017-11-09 (NCEI Accession 0220471)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 03:43 AM | Dataset Last Updated: October 19, 2020 at 12:00 AM
This dataset contains oceanographic and meteorological observations stored in netCDF (.nc) files from 2015 through 2017 in association with monitoring of the Flower Gardens Banks National Marine Sanctuary in the Gulf of Mexico. The Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, which is composed of the West, East and Stetson bank, is monitored on an annual basis as part of its Long-term Water Quality Monitoring program. This program is one of the longest long-term monitoring programs of a coral reef. Each cruise focuses on a specific aspect related to different study projects at the sanctuary and/or in conjunction with other research institutions.
