Mizlant 84 Data Report Results of an Oceanographic Cruise to the Greenland Sea, August-September 1984.

Abstract

This report presents plots of property profiles for each of the 333 oceanographic stations occupied by the U.S. Coast Guard Icebreaker over the continental shelf waters off the east coast of Greenland in August & September 1984. A Neil Brown Mark III CTD was used to obtain temperature and salinity profiles to the sea floor in shallow water and at least to 600 m in deeper water. In addition to temperature and salinity profiles, plots of sound speed and density (sigma-t) are shown. Originator-supplied keywords: East Greenland Current; Icebreaker; Northwind; Greenland Sea; MIZEX; East Greenland Polar Front; and Marginal Ice Zone.
