A Study of Deep Drift and Temperature Data from PALACE Floats in the Gulf of Mexico

Recent interest in deepwater physical oceanography in the Gulf of Mexico has developed due to the recent increase in deepwater exploration and development. Few observations of the deepwater circulation of the Gulf of Mexico are available, and deepwater observational studies ...

Project

Analysis and Synthesis of Louisiana Coastal Boundary Current Data

The discharge of the Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers flow westward along the coast, forming the Louisiana Coastal Current (LCC). This flow responds rapidly to wind events such as cold fronts, and may reverse direction during such events. In summer, weaker ...

Project

ASMV (Autonomous Self-Mooring Vehicle)

A new type of surface vehicle/buoy is being developed for marine biological studies, physical oceanography, environmental impact assessment and integrated marine environment management. The autonomous self-mooring vehicle (ASMV) is designed to operate in shallow lagoon areas. The vehicle is autonomously ...
