Abstract

Abstract : Two bottom moored current meter arrays were deployed on the South East Hancock Seamount (29 48' N, 17904' E) in April 1987. The purpose of the project was to observe for the first time the currents near the summit of this seamount, to determine dominant short period (10 minutes - 50 hours) constituents and variability for the current field and to provide data for future current meter array design. The period of observations was limited to 15 days because of research vessel scheduling. Presented in this report are velocity and temperature data collected from the current meters during this deployment. Keywords: Southeast hancock seamount, Bottom moored current meter, Ocean currents, Oceanographic data, NOAA ship townsend cromwell, Ocean planetary boundary layer.
