Oceanographic Data Report for South West Pacific Cruises in the SEAMAP Series. Part 2. Winter Survey Data 1985 to 1987

Abstract

Six oceanographic surveys have been made in the southwest Pacific Ocean on HMAS Cook from January 1984 to September 1987 as part of an investigation of physical and acoustical oceanographic parameters known as project SEAMAP. This report presents winter survey data for bathymetry, sea surface temperature, wind speed, sea state and swell, and from expendable bathythermograph drops, and CTD and Nansen stations. Underway data are mostly presented as four-hourly discrete values on maps of ship track, forming a representative data set rather than a detailed analysis.
