Shell Oil Platform Meteorological Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/88.069

Summary
This data set contains hourly resolution surface meteorological and
oceanographic data from the Shell Oil (http://www.shell.com) Platform weather
stations. These data were retrieved from the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC).
This data set includes data from the 2 stations located off the Texas Gulf of
Mexico near Texas. This data set covers the period from 1 January to 31
December 2005. The data are in space delimited ASCII format. NCAR/EOL
conducted no additional quality control on these data.
