Abstract

OCEANUS cruise number 119 (6-14 May, 1982) was the seventh in a series of cruises to the Long Term Upper Ocean Study (LOTUS) area centered at 34 N, 70 W. During this cruise five moorings were set at the LOTUS site; four for the LOTUS experiment and one, a profiling current meter mooring, for C.S. Draper Labs - MIT. In addition, an engineering mooring was set at 39 deg 30 min N, 70 W. Two XBT sections were made along 70 W between 40 N and 33 N during the trip to and from the LOTUS site. Five CTD stations were also completed in the LOTUS area. Part I of this report is a summary of the major cruise activities and part II presents the hydrographic data (CTD and XBT) collected during the cruise.
