Due to severe winter weather and problems encountered in recovering instrumentation four trips were required to complete the necessary work. Objectives were: 1.Recover(#120) and deploy one tripod (#126) on Georges Bank. 2.Recover ARGO MERCHANT current meter array (three moorings #123,124,125). 3.Recover one tripod(#121) and surface buoy in Great South Channel (part of ARGO MERCHANT array). 4.Recover(#119) and deploy one tripod (#122) off New Jersey. 5.Make XBT observations to deteremine temperature structure in vicinity of current and tripod moorings.
