This report presents data collected at the Mobile site, and west of Tampa, Florida, and in the tropical South Atlantic. The objectives of these data reports are to give data reduction techniques and lists and plots of the data. A table shows the data collection effort conducted at the three sites from January through December 1978. Another table lists the area, vessel and data collected during each site visit. A third table lists the type of positioning used by each vessel and the accuracy of each system. Station positions are shown. The analysis techniques applied to each data-set are described. Listing and figures for each set are given in appendices. In addition a summary of the limited amount of meteorological data collecting during the site visits is given.
