HYDROGRAPHIC STATION DATA, GULF OF MEXICO, AUGUST-NOVEMBER STD, 1965-1967
Abstract
The series of four cruises was planned in an effort to get synoptic pictures of the temperature-depth structure of the Gulf in the various seasons. The primary emphasis was in the warmest and coldest parts of the year, usually August and February. Cruises were limited by ship time available. This was of the order of 14 to 20 days for each cruise. Because of the short duration of the cruises, primary emphasis was placed upon the observation of the east Gulf loop current with only occasional lines of stations in the west Gulf. Standard lines of observations were repeated on successive cruises where feasible and the positions of the lines were chosen to best describe features of the flow at given times. The data represent hydrographic casts obtained either with the standard Nansen bottle and reversing thermometer equipment or with the Bissett-Berman salinity-temperature and depth data acquisition system.
