Distribution of suspended matter in the Panama basin

Creator:

Plank, William S., Zaneveld, J. Ronald, and Pak, Hasong

Abstract:

The distribution of suspended matter in the Panama basin was determined by means of light scattering and Coulter counter measurements on water samples collected at 50 hydrographic stations. The observed distribution indicates three probable sources of suspended matter: (1) the surface waters throughout the basin; (2) erosion and runoff from...

Optical and hydrographic observations of the Cromwell Current between 92°00'W and the Galapagos Islands

Creator:

Zaneveld, J. Ronald, Pak, Hasong, and Plank, William S.

Abstract:

Optical and hydrographic observations were made at two meridional sections across the Cromwell Current at 92°00’ and 91°40’W during February 1969. The distribution of hydrographic and optical properties near the Galapagos Islands is described. Beneath the thermocline the Cromwell Current is characterized by deepening of the light-scattering isolines. Above the...
