Oil Rig Weather Observations

Data provided by  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Weather observations taken at offshore platforms along the United States coastlines. The majority are located in oil-rich areas of the Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of Alaska, and Arctic coastline. Platform stations use standard National Weather Service observation forms, however observations are not taken at regular intervals. There are often only a few observations per month. A portion of the observation forms in this collection has been scanned, while the remainder are available in paper format only.
