- Description:

- Abstract:
-
Seacat data (salinity, temperature, depth) profiles were taken at selected locations to provide basic oceanographic information over geographic area sampled. The unit was an SBE 19 SeaCat and provided real-time information at the time of cast. The unit was mounted above a series of bongo nets, in line between the terminus and the net. Recordings are made throughout the cast, but data from the upcast are the most appropriate.
- Purpose:
-
Measurements of water properties (temperature, salinity) provide necessary information for describing hydrography this area, for examining the potential for connectivity between the slope and the shelf, and as background for observing anomolous events as they occur.
