The overarching goal of this study is to increase knowledge of the dynamics of the Loop Current in the eastern Gulf of Mexico through a combined analysis of observations and numerical modeling output. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0126392 Preview graphic PNG 0126392 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2015-02-24 publication BAROMETRIC PRESSURE CURRENT SPEED - EAST/WEST COMPONENT (U) CURRENT SPEED - NORTH/SOUTH COMPONENT (V) DEPTH - BOTTOM HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE SALINITY SEA HEIGHT TIDE HEIGHT WATER TEMPERATURE WAVE - PEAK PERIOD WAVE HEIGHT - SIGNIFICANT WIND GUST theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS CTD current meter inverted echo sounder (IES) mooring instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS physical profile time series theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS moorings R/V Pelican WEATHERBIRD II platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS Ensenada Center for Scientific Investigation and Higher Education Leidos NOAA National Data Buoy Center NOAA National Ocean Service Science Applications International Corporation University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Leidos dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Gulf of Mexico place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NOS > National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOC/NOAA/NWS/NDBC > National Data Buoy Center, National Weather Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce SAIC > Science Applications International Corporation U-MIAMI/RSMAS > Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
