Data Type(s): Environmental Data: Temperature, Sonar: Single Beam, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Deploy a single-current meter mooring (#301) in Rodgers Pass, in the sill between Georges Basin and Wilkinson Basin. The mooring will monitor the seasonal flow of slope water between these two basins and will complement measurements by D. Brooks (TAMU) in Wilkinson Basin.
