Description

This dataset is comprised of the final processed data collected by 83 RAFOS floats deployed in the western Gulf of Mexico during the Deep Water Dispersion Experiment (DWDE), as part of the project “Implementación de redes de observación oceanográficas (físicas geoquímicas, ecológicas) para la generación de escenarios ante posibles contingencias relacionadas a la exploración y producción de hidrocarburos en aguas profundas del Golfo de México” of the Gulf de Mexico Research Consortium (CIGoM), funded by CONACYT‐SENER‐Hydrocarbon Fund, Mexico”. 

In this experiment, surface drifters were deployed in the same location as the RAFOS floats. The drifter database can be accessed here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3979964.

Notes

The acquisition of the RAFOS float data from the DWDE experiment has been financed by the CONACYT-SENER-Hydrocarbons Sector Fund, Mexico (project 201441), developed by the Gulf of Mexico Research Consortium (CIGoM). We recognize PEMEX for promoting to the Fund the specific demand on oil spills and the environment. See database webpage with additional information (https://giola.cicese.mx/en/database/RAFOS/)
