Scattering Layer Observations Made during Project EARS Cruise I, 28 October - 13 December 1966.

Abstract

This is the fourth in a series of technical memoranda dealing with environmental data obtained during Project EARS Cruise I (28 October-13 December 1966). This memorandum deals specifically with the observations of scattering layers made during the cruise at 12.0 KHz with the standard ship's fathometer. The results of biological sampling conducted at a number of locations along the track, are presently being analyzed in order to identify organisms present, and will be reported separately in USL Technical Memorandum No. 2213-177-67. Continuous PDR traces were obtained by both AGOR ships, USNS SANDS and LYNCH, while underway. These records were visually scanned for incidence of scattering layers and the results tabulated. This listing summarizes the presence and movement of all scattering layers along the track with date, time of day, geographical position, water depth and meterological data. (Author)
