Hydrographic Measurements in the Grenada Basin, Southeastern Caribbean Sea, January 1980.
As part of a study on mesoscale variability in the southeastern Caribbean Sea, we occupied 117 conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) stations and made 235 expendable bathythermograph (XBT) drops during 12-27 January 1980. We present the cruise track of the ship and also the tracks of three aircraft X...
