Abstract
GulfHub is a data portal that compiles and makes publicly accessible physical oceanographic and hydrographic data from the Gulf of Mexico Loop Current field studies. It consolidates data from various sources and a variety of oceanographic platforms such as Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs), single-point current meters, ship- and air-deployed sensors, airborne current sensors, autonomous vehicles, high-frequency radars, buoyancy gliders, Lagrangian and card drifters, and satellites.
Primarily used by research scientists and oil and gas industry, however the data portal is accessible to everyone and serves as an excellent educational resource.
