Texas Automated Buoy System (TABS) Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/88.068

Summary
This data set contains 30-minute resolution surface meteorological and
oceanographic data from the Texas Automated Buoy System (TABS) network which
is operated by the Geochemical and Environmental Research Group in the Texas
A&M University College of Geosciences and the Texas General Land Office Oil
Spill Prevention and Response group. There are 6 stations within the network
that provide meteorological observations. The stations are located along the
Texas Gulf coast. This data set covers the period from 1 June to 31 October
2005. The data are in space delimited ASCII format. NCAR/EOL has conducted no
additional quality control on these data.
