USNS BARTLETT Cruise to the Greenland Sea in September 1989: Data Report
As a component of the Greenland Sea Project, a hydrographic cruise was conducted on board the USNS BARTLETT during September 1989 in the southern Greenland Sea to characterize the water mass structure and circulation features of the Jan Mayen Current (JMC). A total of 48 high-quality CTD stations we...
