      The northeastern Gulf of Mexico has been the focus of only a few
       oceanographic and/or meteorological studies. A survey (1982) by
       an Environmental Studies Program (ESP) contractor found but a
       few oceanographic datasets. Most of the available hydrographic
       data are from the 1970's Mississippi-Alabama-Florida
       surveys. Available current data are from the
       Mississippi/Alabama Marine Ecosystem Study (MMS Contract
       14-35-0001-30346), some Navy sponsored moorings near Pensacola,
       Chevron's moorings in the Destin Dome Area, a United States
       Geological Survey mooring south of Mobile, and several United
       States Army Corps of Engineers moorings on the inner
       shelf. Even though remote sensing data are probably the most
       recent information in this area, the synoptic collection of
       these images and their comparison with the data from other
       studies of the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico Physical
       Oceanography Program is essential to the understanding of the
       areal extent and timing of events such as intru!  sions,
       shelf/deep water exchanges, and river influence. Physical
       oceanography information in the northeastern Gulf is sufficient
       to make first order estimates of oil spill trajectories, but
       not enough to calculate the errors associated with these
       estimates.

      Objectives

1. The objectives of this study are to assess the utility of merging
   remote sensing and field data to: assess the utility data
   products for examining regional circulation patterns in the
   northeastern Gulf of Mexico (NEGOM);

2. Assess variability of dispersal patterns and sea surface
   temperature (SST) in the NEGOM;

3. Study the correlation between sea level changes and surface
   altimetry, atmospheric forcing, SST, and buoy tracks; and
   integrate these results with ongoing MMS sponsored studies in
   the NEGOM.
