Opis

This is a report of the first ever study of the intermediate depth circulation in the Gulf of Mexico made using free-drifting floats. The floats were fitted with temperature sensors, and this study also reports the first ever study of the intermediate depth thermal structure of the Gulf made by profiling floats. The floats were set in the northern Gulf of Mexico but quickly dispersed resulting in observations being made throughout the Gulf of Mexico.
