Title | DRIFT Expedition (DRFT) |
Abstract | Dynamical Oceanographic studies of the North Equatorial Counter Current (NECC) based on velocity and hydrographic surveys of the at 105W, 100W, 95W and 90W, between 3.5N and 8N. An area of 4000 square miles is being surveyed with acoustic transducers and a towed hydrographic package (seasoar). |
