"LATEX CTD - d94i134.nc - 27.21N, 96.94W - 1994-08-05"

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.

路易斯安那-德克萨斯大陆架物理海洋学项目（LATEX）由美国内政部矿产资源管理局（MMS）资助。该项目包括三个研究单元，其中德克萨斯-路易斯安那大陆架环流和传输过程研究（LATEX A或LATEX大陆架）由德克萨斯A&M大学系统执行。LATEX A野外项目于1992年4月至1994年12月进行。研究区域覆盖了从密西西比河到里奥格兰德河，大约10米等深线以外的德克萨斯-路易斯安那大陆架。五个主要野外组成部分包括：锚定流速计测量、漂流浮标、水文测量、声学多普勒流速剖面（声学多普勒流速剖面仪（ADCP））和气象浮标。
