Onslow Bay intrusion study hydrographic observations during current meter servicing cruises in August, October, and December 1975. Orbis, I, III and IV. [Atlantic coastal waters off Georgia]

Abstract

Data are presented from a preliminary analysis of chemical/physical data obtained during three current meter servicing cruises in Onslow Bay off the coast of Georgia, in August, October, and December 1975 aboard the R/V ADVANCE II. These cruises were made as part of an ERDA sponsored study investigating the shelf processes effecting the distribution of nutrients in the South Atlantic Bight. The objective of these cruises was to collect temperature and chemical data to correlate with the data recorded by current meters and thermographs which had already been deployed or which were about to be deployed at two locations in the study area. No attempt will be made at this time however to correlate the data presented to these related records.
