Field Activity 1985-024-FA

Identifier 1985-024-FA
Alternate names 85G-07-3
Purpose 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.
Location Rodgers Pass, Gulf of Maine, United States, North America, North Atlantic;
Summary XBT Stations: 20; Mooring deployed: 1 (#301 recovered FA 86011 EDWIN LINK Jul. 20 - Aug. 1, 1986, with FA 86012 MARY LOUISE Jul. 20-22, 1986).
