Its contributors brought together research on the Gulf of Mexico at a time when improved instrumentation, computing, and large-scale oceanographic programs were rapidly changing scientists’ understanding of ocean circulation and physical marine systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is particularly interesting today as a historical record of how researchers understood the Gulf more than half a century ago. The Gulf of Mexico would subsequently become a major focus of research into ocean circulation, hurricanes, marine ecology, climate, offshore industry, and human impacts on marine environments, making earlier scientific surveys such as this useful snapshots of the field's development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eContributions on the Physical Oceanography of the Gulf of Mexico\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTexas A\u0026amp;M University Oceanographic Studies, Volume 2\u003cbr\u003eEditors: L.
