Oceanographic Cruise Summary, Kane Basin, September 1969

Abstract

The Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) conducted a bottom survey of the Kane Basin during September 1969 aboard USCGC SOUTHWIND (WAGB 280). The primary purpose of the survey was to obtain data on the composition and configuration of the Basin floor. NAVOCEANO operations included core and grab sampling at 47 stations, 9 camera lowerings, and over 1,000 miles of bathymetric soundings. A Coast Guard Oceanographic Unit made temperature, salinity, and oxygen measurements at 19 Nansen cast stations.
