Dr. Gustavo Goni Dr. Molly Baringer |
| Data Quality Control: | Qi Yao |
| Dates: | November 25 - December 9, 2003 |
| Ship: | S.L.Patriot |
| Data Availability: | Data is available in delayed mode via this web site (Raw Data ), and can also be obtained from NODC. Real-time data was transmitted via the GOES satellite and distributed via the Global Telecommunications System. |
| Additional Information: | 259 XBTs Deployed -------------------------- 43 BAD 15 Questionable -------------------------- At Sea Personnel: Jim Farrington -------------------------- Note: Auto launcher mounted on the port stern area with moving room if needed. One tube dropped out at the start, but the rest worked well. The ship speed was fast 19 to 21 knots; did not seem to affect the drops other that shortening them. The cruise had above average amount of failures mainly due to wind from a tropical storm and a low that passed over us. |
