DEEP CIRCULATION IN THE GULF OF MAINE

Description: A two-year field study to investigate the deep flow between the major basins in the Gulf of Maine. This deep flow of warm-salty Slope water is an important driving mechanism of the residual flow and in part controls the distribution of suspended sediments. Duration: Jul 1985 - Feb 1987 USGS PIs: B. Butman Publications: Field Activity Reports: 1985-024-FA, 1986-008-FA, 1986-012-FA, 1986-017-FA Explore where measurements were made and the kinds of data collected during this experiment using GoogleEarth (V4 or better required) and GULF_MAINE.kml.
