Gibraltar Experiment, CTD Data Report 2

Abstract

This report contains data from the second of two CTD cruises conducted as part of the ONR-funded Gibraltar Experiment. These cruises were designed to examine both the larger-scale structure of water masses in the Gulf of Cadiz and Alboran Sea as well as the smaller-scale, though highly variable, structure within the Strait of Gibraltar (Bray, 1986). A total of 184 stations were taken: 179 rosette casts and five time series (yoyo) stations. The 5 yoyo stations comprise a total of 245 down and up traces acquired during two 12-hour time series of almost continuous sampling. In this report, composite potential temperature vs salinity diagrams are presented for different sections, and traces of temperature, salinity and potential density are plotted for each station.
