Physical and Chemical Data Indomed Expedition Leg XIII, 9 November to 22 December 1978.

Abstract

This report presents hydrographic data for Indomed Expedition Leg 13. Indomed Expedition Leg 13 was carried out from 9 November to 22 December 1978 aboard RV Melville to study the characteristics and flow of the abyssal waters of the southern part of the Argentine Basin and the area between the South Sandwich Islands and the mid-Atlantic Ridge. Forty-two hydrographic stations were occupied with sampling to the bottom for temperature, salinity, oxygen, phosphate, silicate, nitrate and nitrite; CTD's were lowered, weather permitting, on stations where the bottom depth was less than 5400m. Free-vehicle current meters were deployed on 9 stations with 7 being recovered.
