University of Southern Mississippi (USM) Buoy Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/88.066

Summary
This data set contains 30 minute resolution surface meteorological and
oceanographic data in a single file. Data are from the University of Southern
Mississippi Department of Marine Science buoy located in the Gulf of Mexico
off the coast of Mississippi. These data were retrieved from the National Data
Buoy Center (NDBC). There is 1 station in this data set. This data set covers
the period from 1 June to 29 August 2005. The data are in space delimited
ASCII format. NCAR/EOL has conducted no additional quality control on these
data.
