The Minerals Management Service (MMS) of the U. S. Department of the Interior funded the Deepwater Physical Oceanography Reanalysis and Synthesis of Historical Data Study in the Gulf of Mexico. MMS awarded the contract to the Texas A&M Research Foundation in July 1998. The basic study area is bounded by the shelf edge and the 25DGN latitude, which is the southern boundary; it extends from sea surface to sea floor. MMS has four objectives for the study. First is to create an inventory of physical oceanographic data and compile it into a single database on a CD-ROM. Second is to conduct analyses and interpretations of the physical oceanographic data to identify physical processes and phenomena. Third is to produce a climatology of the processes from available data and analyses and to prioritize the processes in terms of importance to improved understanding, simulation, and prediction of deepwater circulation. Fourth is to provide criteria and constraints useful in design of future field observations and numerical modeling efforts. Study results will provide MMS with information needed to direct its resources more efficiently and effectively in the review and assessment of potential environmental impacts of offshore oil and gas operations in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.

The Minerals Management Service (MMS) of the U. S. Department of the Interior funded the Deepwater Physical Oceanography Reanalysis and Synthesis of Historical Data Study in the Gulf of Mexico. MMS awarded the contract to the Texas A&M Research Foundation in July 1998. The basic study area is bounded by the shelf edge and the 25DGN latitude, which is the southern boundary; it extends from sea surface to sea floor. MMS has four objectives for the study. First is to create an inventory of physical oceanographic data and compile it into a single database on a CD-ROM. Second is to conduct analyses and interpretations of the physical oceanographic data to identify physical processes and phenomena. Third is to produce a climatology of the processes from available data and analyses and to prioritize the processes in terms of importance to improved understanding, simulation, and prediction of deepwater circulation. Fourth is to provide criteria and constraints useful in design of future field observations and numerical modeling efforts. Study results will provide MMS with information needed to direct its resources more efficiently and effectively in the review and assessment of potential environmental impacts of offshore oil and gas operations in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.

The basic study area is bounded by the shelf edge and the 25DGN latitude, which is the southern boundary; it extends from sea surface to sea floor. MMS has four objectives for the study. First is to create an inventory of physical oceanographic data and compile it into a single database on a CD-ROM. Second is to conduct analyses and interpretations of the physical oceanographic data to identify physical processes and phenomena. Third is to produce a climatology of the processes from available data and analyses and to prioritize the processes in terms of importance to improved understanding, simulation, and prediction of deepwater circulation. Fourth is to provide criteria and constraints useful in design of future field observations and numerical modeling efforts. Study results will provide MMS with information needed to direct its resources more efficiently and effectively in the review and assessment of potential environmental impacts of offshore oil and gas operations in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.

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.

The Northeastern Gulf of Mexico Physical Oceanography Program (NEGOM) is supported by the Minerals Management Service (MMS) of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Through a contract between MMS and the Texas A&M Research Foundation, several components of the Texas A&M University System are conducting the Chemical Oceanography and Hydrography study of NEGOM (NEGOM-COH). This report covers activities from October 1997 through June 1998. Data were collected from hydrographic and acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) surveys conducted in the Gulf of Mexico over the continental shelf and upper slope between the Mississippi delta and Tampa Bay in water depths of 10 to 1000 m. Additionally, historical and concurrent data from other programs in this region were collected. Two hydrographic/ADCP surveys, N1 and N2, were conducted with 94 and 98 hydrographic sampling stations and with 80 and 97 expendable bathythermograph stations on respective cruises. Each survey also included continuous ADCP measurements along the cruise track. At each hydrographic sampling station continuous profiles were made of conductivity, temperature, pressure, downwelling irradiance, fluorescence, and light transmission. Up to twelve water samples were taken at each station and analyzed for dissolved oxygen and six nutrients: nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate, ammonium, and urea. At 51 stations on cruise N1 and 61 on N2, water samples were filtered and analyzed for phytoplankton pigments at the surface and from the chlorophyll maximum and the low light regime immediately below it. Pigments were determined using high performance liquid chromatography. At 60 stations on each cruise, water samples were filtered and analyzed for particulate matter concentrations at surface, middle, and bottom water depths and for particulate organic carbon concentrations at surface and bottom water depths. Bottle salinity was measured at every station on the first cruise and at the shallowest and deepest stations on each cross-shelf line on the second. The instrumentation as well as calibration and sampling procedures are described in this report. The collected data were subjected to stringent quality assurance/quality control procedures.

Marine geology and geophysics field class.  Data collection will include a small MCS airgun/streamer system, chirp acoustic reflection, and gravity coring.  We may also use a portable multibeam system
