Observations of Temperature Finestructure in the Gulf of California. XBT Data Report, November 1984 - March 1985,

Abstract

This report contains XBT data collected in the Gulf of California as part o a cooperative research program between Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) and Centro de Investigation Cientifica y de Education Superior de Ensenada (CICESE). Data were collected during November 1984 (Pichicuco VI) and March 1985 (Pichicuco VII) on board R/V New Horizon XBT drops were made primarily in three locations: near a ridge at the northern end of Guaymas Basin and near the sills located at the southern end o Ballenas Channel and between the islands of San Lorenzo and San Esteban. Stations at these locations were repeated during various phases of the tide to observe changes in temperature finestructure and to describe the evolution of a frontal system near San Esteban Island.
