Profiles in Velocity and Temperature near the Indian Ocean Equator,

Abstract

Between January 1973 and May 1975, quasi-weekly vertical profiles of temperature and velocity were obtained near the equatorial island of Gan (00 deg 41 min S, 73 deg 10 min E) in the Central Indian Ocean. This report presents the profiles directly. One analysis of the data, treating the seasonal cycle of near-surface currents, has been published; others are in progress.
