The Trade Wind Zone Oceanography Pilot Study, Vol. 6 offers a detailed, data‑driven look at Townsend Cromwell’s 1965–1966 cruises, focusing on hydrographic measurements and bathythermograph work.
This edition compiles station data, temperature and salinity profiles, and computed properties to illuminate regional ocean structure.
The book frames the scope with station-by-station headings, showing observed and interpolated values, and it presents surface temperature and salinity distributions, along with dynamic topography. It also documents the models and plotting that produced various BT sections and maps, making it a valuable reference for historical oceanography work.
What you’ll experience
- Original and derived oceanographic data across multiple cruises, including temperature, salinity, oxygen, and phosphate
- Temperature and salinity sections from bathythermograph casts, plus surface distributions
- Dynamic topography relative to 1,200 meters and related interpretation
- Notes on data processing, interpolation, and quality checks
Ideal for readers who want a precise, hands-on view of mid‑20th century oceanographic methods and results, including researchers, students, and practitioners in the field.
