A Compilation of Moored Current Meter and Wind Recorder Data. Volume 38. Long-Term Upper Ocean Study (LOTUS) (Moorings 787, 788, 789, 790, 792), April 1983-May 1984.

Abstract

The Long-Term Upper Ocean Study (LOTUS) was a two-year field experiment near 34 deg N 70 deg W designed to acquire a continuous set of measurements of currents and temperatures in the upper, open ocean together with local hydrography meteorology, and mesoscale oceanographic features. The first scientific moorings were deployed in May 1982. The first year of mooring data from May 1982-April 1983 is presented by Tarbell, Pennington and Briscoe (1984 W.H.O.I. Tech. Rept. 84-36). The second year of mooring data, from April 1983-May 1984, when the final mooring recovery occurred, is presented here. Keywords: North Atlantic Ocean; Ocean currents; Oceanographic data; Sea water; Marine meteorology.
