A Summary of Woods Hole Buoy Group Moored Stations for the POLYMODE Program.

Abstract

The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Buoy Group's field work for the international POLYMODE program consisted of deployment and recovery of seventy of the seventy-eight program moorings on eight research cruises. The mooring program consisted of four distinct experiments conducted from June of 1974 to November of 1979. A brief of the arrays is provided, the mooring design process for a typical POLYMODE mooring is explained, and brief summaries are given of the WHOI deployment and recovery cruises. Appendix I is a schematic presentation of the chronological mooring history; Appendix II lists details of the seventy WHOI moorings deployed in the POLYMODE program and Appendix III lists details of other WHOI moorings that may be of interest to investigators.
