SOME TURBIDIMETRIC OBSERVATIONS IN THE EAST SIBERIAN SEA DURING JULY-SEPTEMBER 1964.
The East Siberian cruise of the USS Burton Island (AGB-1) offered a unique opportunity to obtain turbidimetric measurements inexpensively on a cooperative basis. In addition to routine oceanographic data obtained during the cruise, personnel of the U. S. Navy Oceanographic Office obtained turbidity...
