Report of Work Accomplished IN Support of PARKA II Operations.
Abstract
The report entitled 'Oceanographic Parameters for Acoustical Determination Between Latitude 22 deg N and 30 deg N Along the 157 deg 50 min West Meridian' described a one-year environmental study made between May 1968 and April 1969. This interim report describes the work accomplished from May 1969 through October 1969. The results of five ship cruises are reported which confirm the variability of the near-surface ocean environment in the area. A definite temperature inversion in the deep ocean below about 3800 meters depth is described. Several bathymetric profiles are presented, the results of current observations near the Sea Spider site are reported and the results from analysis of three cores taken by USNS SANDS at the Sea Spider site are reported.
