BioSYNOP: Biophysical Observations and Modeling

Abstract

The efforts covered in this support period involved planning and execution of two cruise efforts. The first in fall 1988 included two legs aboard R/V Cape Hatteras to map the biological fields in a Gulf Stream meander. Funds in this contract covered the physical data collection and satellite real-time data support for the Hatteras. The second cruise in the spring of 1989 aboard R/ V Columbus Iselin again mapped one wave length of a Gulf Stream meander. Both cruises were part of a multi-platform effort that also involved the R/V Endeavor and R/V Bartlett (spring only). The resulting data from the cruises is currently being analyzed as part of a current ONR contract. (TTL)
