Derived from processed satellite observations. These data are usually within 0.5 degrees Celsius uncertainty for ocean areas and 1 degree Celsius uncertainty for coastal areas.

Polygon data for all major shipping lanes associated with all ports in the Gulf of Mexico are presented. These layers were modified from GIS data acquired from the U. S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) website. Although file description reports are available, no FGDC-compliant metadata are available for the original files from BOEM. The current layers are non-projected with coordinates in decimal degrees.

The Texas Automated Buoy System contains daily oceanographic measurements from seven buoys off the Texas coast from Brownsville to Sabine. The Texas General Land Office supports this system as part of its mission to mitigate the effect of catastrophic oil spills on the Texas Coast. Buoys communicate surface currents and water temperature measured at 2m depths in near real time via cell phone and commercial satellite digital data links. Data are available within a few hours of collection, but gaps in the data may occur.
