Description
This volume includes an introductory chapter describing the purpose and scope of the study, a chapter on benchmark sampling describing station locations and their rationale, cruise tracks, and field sampling procedures, and two chapters of element reports. The physical oceanography chapter contains methods and equipment used, and a discussion of hydrographic conditions during each of the four seasons. The zooplankton chapter presents a faunal description for each station during each season and discusses community structure and seasonal succession. This report contains Special Reports in Applied Marine Science and Ocean Engineering No. 191 & 192.
