Satellite infrared data and in situ data were combined to study synoptic-scale and mesoscale fronts in the Gulf of Mexico in the period 1973–1977. Deep northward penetrations of the Loop Current were noted in the winter, and a major warm gyre developed in the winter, 1974. Other major warm gyres were seen to develop in the early spring (1974 and 1977). In all cases, a very large meander developed off the southern part of the west Florida shelf prior to the development of the major warm gyre. Smaller meanders were seen to move along the Loop Current boundary at an average speed of 28 km/day and with an average wavelength of 210 km.
