Oceanographic and Acoustical Properties of Atlantic Area C1 during June 1963.

The Naval Oceanographic Office Selected four oceanic laboratory sites in the Atlantic Ocean for intensified study. The areas selected were one-degree squares. Area C1, with which this report is concerned, was surveyed by the USS SAN PABLO (AGS-30) from 23-30 June 1963. Sixteen Nansen stations and 98...

Description
Summary:The Naval Oceanographic Office Selected four oceanic laboratory sites in the Atlantic Ocean for intensified study. The areas selected were one-degree squares. Area C1, with which this report is concerned, was surveyed by the USS SAN PABLO (AGS-30) from 23-30 June 1963. Sixteen Nansen stations and 98 bathythermograph traces were obtained. The area was originally selected because it was considered oceanographically quiet, and the survey was designed to evaluate this assumption. The area was found to be dynamic in nature, and this report is an evaluation of the variations and the resultant acoustical implications.
