NODC Standard Format Meteorological and Oceanographic (F192) Data from the Gulf Offshore Weather Observing Network (GOWON) (1980-1984) (NCEI Accession 0014204)
This data type contains time series of meteorological and ocean wave data measured by instruments deployed on offshore oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico in 1981-1982. The data were collected as part of a cooperative program between the NOAA National Weather Service and participating oil companies. A station identifier, position and instrument altitude are reported for each series of observations. The data record comprises date, time, and measured parameters that may include: air temperature and pressure; wind direction, speed, and gust; significant wave height, maximum wave height and wave period; and water level.
