Oceanographic Observations: Nova Scotia to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina (October-November 1969 and May-June 1970)
A volumetric statistical (T-S) analysis of water masses is presented for two Coast Guard oceanographic cruises in support of the International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries, from 25 Oct-22 Nov 1969 and 19 May-9 June 1970. The fall cruise data exhibited a 54% greater volume of Gulf...
