Abstract:

Airborne eXpendable BathyThermographs (AXBT) data from deployments during field operations to study Hurricane Lili. The data were used in model simulations for Uhlhorn, E. W., and Shay, L. K. (2013). Loop Current Mixed Layer Energy Response to Hurricane Lili (2002). Part II: Idealized Numerical Simulations. Journal of Physical Oceanography, 43(6), 1173–1192. doi:10.1175/jpo-d-12-0203.1.

Purpose:

To determine the effect of seasonal currents, topography, and episodic oceanographic or atmospheric drivers on the transport of oil, hydrocarbon gases, sediments, and organisms from a source to sea floor and pelagic environments in the Gulf of Mexico.

Data Parameters and Units:

file name, decimal day of hte year, latitude (decimal degrees), longitude (decimal degrees), depth (m), temperature (degrees Celsius)
