Oceanographic Observations in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, March, 1967.
Abstract
Oceanographic data were collected along the 85th meridian in the Eastern Tropical Pacific during March 1967. Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, phosphate and silicate concentrations are presented graphically. Geostrophic calculations correlate well with the described circulation in the literature of this area. An easterly flowing South Equatorial Countercurrent between 4 degrees S and 8 degrees S was evidenced as far east as 85 degrees W. This current had previously been described as extending only to 95 degrees W. (Author)
