of Mexico Ocean Current Monitoring
In response to reports of high currents, both at the surface and at depth,
the MMS has issued a Notice to Lessee’s (NTL) requiring that currents be
monitored from mobile offshore drilling units (MODU’s) and floating production
platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. A requirement
of the NTL is that industry must send current data to the National Buoy Data Center (NDBC)
for posting on a website. The public may view
the data in an almost real-time mode.
