Oceanographic Data Report for South West Pacific Cruises in the SEAMAP Series. Part 1. Summer Survey Data 1984 to 1987

Six oceanographic surveys have been made in the south west Pacific Ocean on HMAS Cook from January 1984 to September 1987 as part of an investigation of physical and acoustical oceanographic parameters known as project SEAMAP. This report presents summer survey data for bathymetry, sea surface tempe...

Description
Summary:Six oceanographic surveys have been made in the south west Pacific Ocean on HMAS Cook from January 1984 to September 1987 as part of an investigation of physical and acoustical oceanographic parameters known as project SEAMAP. This report presents summer survey data for bathymetry, sea surface temperature, wind speed, sea state and swell, and from expendable bathy- thermograph (XBT) drops, and CTD and Nansen stations. Underway data are mostly presented as four-hourly discrete values on maps of ship track, forming a representative data set rather than a detailed analysis. (The summer survey tracks were also traversed in oceanographic winter; the winter data are presented in a separate report.) This report includes a reprint entitled: Temperature inversions at intermediate depths in the Antarctic intermediate waters of the south-western Pacific. See also Part 2, ADA236018. Original contains color plates: All DTIC and NTIS reproductions will be in black and white. Pub in Aust. Jnl. Freshwater Res., v41 pp325-351 1990.
