The Benthic Boundary Layer Experiment on the Hatteras Abyssal Plain: Current and Temperature Observations. Data Report, 1977. Volume XXV.

Abstract

The near bottom density and velocity fields above the Hatteras abyssal plain were observed with a current/temperature measuring array and a towed-yo-yoing profiler. This report describes the array data and includes details of calibration and data quality. Sources of direction error were diagnosed from vane and compass performance and bearing direction. (Author)
