Abstract
To investigate vertical mixing processes influencing the evolution of the
stratification over continental shelves a moored array was deployed on the New England
shelf from August 1996 to June 1997 as part of the Office of Naval Research's Coastal
Mixing and Optics program. The array consisted of four mid-shelf sites instrumented to
measure oceanic (currents, temperature, salinity, pressure, and surface gravity wave
spectra) and meteorological (winds, surface heat flux, precipitation) variables. This
report presents a description of the moored array, a summary of the data processing, and
statistics and time-series plots summarizing the data. A report on the mooring recovery
cruise and a summary of shipboard CTD surveys taken during the mooring deployment
are also included.
