ABSTRACT

This data report presents hydrographic (CTD) and Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected during a pair of cruises, one during May and June, the other during July of 1996. The study area encompasses a region from Pigeon Point south to Cape San Martin (35 53'N), extending from the coast to approximately 90 lan offshore. A total of 163 CTD casts (61 during the first cruise) were completed. The CTD data are presented primarily in tabular form for selected pressures. ADCP data are shown as a set of horizontal contour plots. Some T/S plots are also presented.
