Oceanographic survey was performed in the Ross Sea, Antarctica, from 25 January to 8 March 1967 aboard GLACIER and STATEN ISLAND. Oceanographic stations were occupied in the central part of the sea to complement previous work done by NAVOCEANO in the investigation of Circumpolar Water intrusion into the Ross Sea and at the annual ice forecasting station locations. Current meter arrays were moored at two locations for direct current readings, and a special bathymetric survey was conducted along the Victoria Land coast. Preliminary analysis of oceanographic station data indicates that the main intrusion of Circumpolar Water enters the Ross Sea at about 174W longitude and that bottom topography is an influencing factor in deflecting this water southward into the Ross Sea.
