Oceanographic Cruise Summary Mid-Latitude Transit of the North Pacific Ocean by the USNS CHARLES H. DAVIS (T-AGOR 5) October 1969
Abstract
The report contains a summary of oceanographic data obtained during the October 1969 transit of the Pacific Ocean by the USNS CHARLES H. DAVIS (T- AGOR 5). Sound velocity and oxygen sections are presented for the transit. A comparison of the sound velocity section with one taken along the same track by the USS REHOBOTH (AGS 50) in March 1968 shows remarkable similarity except near the surface where the March 1968 section shows better mixing. A new oxygen sensor, the Beckman Instruments, Inc. Minos dissolved oxygen monitor, was used to measure oxygen content. Comparisons were made between the oxygen sensor and Microwinkler oxygen methods from data obtained on the USNS LYNCH (T-AGOR 7) in January 1970. Of 211 water samples taken at seven stations, 91% of the data points agreed within plus or minus 0.3 ml/L, 81% agreed within plus or minus 0.2 ml/L, and 68% agreed within plus or minus 0.1 ml/L.
