Dye Experiment Study of Cross-Frontal Exchange: undulating profile data collected in the North Atlantic Ocean on the OCEANUS cruise OC342 as part of the GB project from 1999-05-21 to 1999-06-04 (NCEI Accession 0104401)
This dataset includes profile, undulating profile, biological and physical data collected aboard the OCEANUS during cruise OC342 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1999-05-21 to 1999-06-04. These data include SALINITY, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE, FLUORESCENCE and SIGMA-T. The instruments used to collect these data include Undulating towed profiler and buoy - non-instrumented drifting device. These data were collected by Robert Houghton of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory as part of GB. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2013-01-23.
The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO:
Dye Experiment Study of Cross-Frontal Exchange, R/V Oceanus Cruise 342
DMO notes:
The documentation below describes a two ship operation. The data reported here are from the Bob Houghton cruise on the Oceanus 342.
PI documentation:
Two cruises were undertaken in May and June 1999 in which dye patches were released to study cross-frontal exchange. On Oceanus Cruise 342, led by Bob Houghton of LDEO, dye was released in the bottom mixed layer. A Scanfish towed unit was used to monitor the dispersion of dye as well as locate the frontal system on the Southern flank of Georges Bank. Jim Ledwell and Jim Churchill of WHOI led Endeavor Cruise 323/324 in which dye and drifters were deployed in the pycnocline and in the surface layer. Sampling on this cruise was done by the WHOI VPR group, yielding plankton distributions.
Figure 1 (http://globec.whoi.edu/globec-dir/reports/data_workshops/cross-frontal_exchange/cfe-ssc_report_2000/houghton_fig1mapcap.html) shows the location of dye and drifter deployments during these cruises. The LDEO dye was Fluorescein injected into the bottom mixed layer on the stratified side of the tidal front. The WHOI dye was Rhodamine-WT: #1 injected into the surface (1-3 m ) layer and #2-4 into the pycnocline. During the WHOI dye injections additional WHOI drifters drogued at various depths were deployed in the dye patch. Drifters also drogued at various depths were deployed by Manning in April and May on NOAA cruises. See the time line for the temporal distribution of the experiments.
