WELOC Cruise '77, Leg 6, R/V WECOMA May 21-June 18, 1977. Callao, Peru to Balboa, Panama.
Abstract
The R/V WECOMA cruise leg 6 emphasized the field work on the marine geology research program on 'Patterns and processes of continental margin sedimentation.' This program constitutes a mesoscale study of processes controlling hemipelagic sediment distribution and composition beneath the coastal upwelling, non-upwelling and pelagic regimes of the equatorial East Pacific. It included field work of the optical oceanography group to help initiate cooperative research into a better understanding of the interrelation of ocean dynamics and the characteristics of suspended and bottom sediments.
