OCEAN DATA GATHERING PROGRAM-QUALITY AND REDUCTION OF DATA

Data collected from six offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico from 1968 to 1971 during the Ocean Data Gathering Program are probably the most complete set of wind and wave measurements available off the Louisiana coast. The data and their quality, calibration, and usability are discussed with an eye toward familiarizing the potential user with the possibilities of the system.
