This volume reports data collected for the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Program (OTEC) at two potential OTEC sites in the Gulf of Mexico. The Mobile Site (at approximately 29/sup 0/00'N, 88/sup 0/00'W), was occupied three times and the Tampa Site (at approximately 27/sup 0/39'N, 85/sup 0/30'W), was visited four times. Cruises were in June, August, October and December, 1978. Investigations at the sites were primarily a joint effort between the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Chemical and biological oceanographic results are presented here with some physical data as background information. Current meter, XBT and STD data were taken by AOML and are presented by Molinari, Hazelworth and Ortman, 1979.
