Data Report for RANRL Oceanographic Cruise Number 23/83 (May/June 1983 - East Indian Ocean).

Abstract

Data from eighteen Nansen Stations to 1500 metres taken from HMAS COOK on RANRL Crusie 23/83 in the eastern Indian Ocean in May-June 1983 are presented as tables and graphs. Temperature-depth cross-sections from XBT data are also included, both for HMAS COOK and other vessels. Geostrophic current values are given and some routine data analysis made. Several very broad scale contour plots are drawn, assuming data to be quasi-synoptic, and some brief comparisons made with satellite imagery. Keywords: Physical oceanography; Expendable bathythermographs; Bathythermograph data; Australia.
