An Analysis of Hydrographic Data From Knorr Cruise 74 in HEBBLE Area, September - October 1979.

We present in figure form some of the hydrographic data collected on the Scotian Rise in September-October, 1979 as part of the HEBBLE program (Hollister et al, 1980). Five full water column theta and S cross slope transects are presented together with one sigma-4 transect for comparison. Selected s...

Description
Summary:We present in figure form some of the hydrographic data collected on the Scotian Rise in September-October, 1979 as part of the HEBBLE program (Hollister et al, 1980). Five full water column theta and S cross slope transects are presented together with one sigma-4 transect for comparison. Selected surface to bottom computer geostrophic velocity profiles are also presented. To focus further on conditions near the ocean bottom, six near bottom, cross slope theta transects and theta profiles at all stations in the lowest 350 m are shown. All six near bottom theta transects show a distinct body of cold water above the bottom near the base of the Scotian Rise. The 0-350 mab theta profiles show that in this distinct body of cold water the bottom mixed layer is sometimes layered and is the distinct body of cold water. (Author)
