Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS) Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/88.071

Summary
This data set contains variable resolution surface meteorological and
oceanographic data from the Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS)
operated by the National Ocean Service. This data set includes data from the 9
stations that are part of the Tampa Bay PORTS network. This data set covers
the period from 1 August to 30 September 2005. The data are in space delimited
ASCII format. NCAR/EOL conducted no additional quality control on these data.
Data outside this period is included in the NOAA/ESRL/GSD MADIS dataset and
can be downloaded by following the link under "Additional Information" below.
