Profiles of Transport, Current and Temperature in the MODE Areas of the North Atlantic.
Abstract
Measurements of the transport and temperature as a function of depth were obtained at two locations in the North Atlantic during the MODE experiments of the IDOE. Vertical profiles of the current as well as hodographs were determined from these. Acoustic ranging was used for the flow measurements based on techniques developed in the instrumented float program on the senior author. The results of these measurements are presented in graphical form for experiments at 28 degrees N, 68.7 degrees W during a 4-day operation in 1972 and at 27.9 degrees N. 69.7 degrees W for a 11-day sequence in 1973. Profiling drops are described individually along with experimental or analytical factors affecting specific profiles. This report is a distillation of the measurements only and avoids interpretations of their significance.
