An insider's description of the comprehensive Census of Marine Life and what it reveals about a seriously threatened ecosystem.
The report contains results of oceanographic surveys in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea from aboard USS REQUISITE in February and March 1960 and January to March 1961. Temperature and salinity profiles across the upper and lower Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, Bay of Oman, and the Arabian Sea are presented. Temperature-salinity curves for the Arabian Sea are compared. Temperature, salinity, and current measurements are discussed. Appendix A contains a tabulation of oceanographic data for 261 stations. Appendix B contains current measurement data for 22 locations. Appendix C contains Sediment Analysis Sheets for 110 bottom samples. (Author).
NAVOCEANO conducted two oceanographic surveys in the ocean area off Point Arguello, California, one in January and one in November-December 1964. The primary purpose of the surveys was to investigate the currents of the area; however, standard Nansen casts were taken, and bottom sediment and plankton samples were obtained. Parachute current drogues were principally used to describe current movement off Point Arguello. A strong westerly flow along the northern portion of Santa Barbara Channel was noted in the surface layers. A corresponding easterly flowing current also was noted in the southern portion of the channel. The major features of the surface flow appeared to be a counterclockwise rotating eddy just off Point Arguello and a deflection of the California Current due to the influence of Rodriquez Dome.
