VCTD (Velocity, Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) Results: Gulf Stream Frontal Stream Study, 1985, Chemical Dynamics in Ocean Frontal Areas Study.

The first cruise to study chemical (and biological) dynamics in ocean frontal regions was conducted in the spring of 1985 off the east coast of the United States. The NORDA Velocity, Conductivity, Temperature and Depth profiler (VCTD) was employed to collect basic physical oceanographic measurements...

Description
Summary:The first cruise to study chemical (and biological) dynamics in ocean frontal regions was conducted in the spring of 1985 off the east coast of the United States. The NORDA Velocity, Conductivity, Temperature and Depth profiler (VCTD) was employed to collect basic physical oceanographic measurements in the upper ocean. This report presents the data obtained by the VCTD during this cruise. (Author)
