Hydrographic data are presented from three cruises to
Warm Core Ring 82-B during April-August 1982. These data include
a sampling of the 2 db pressure, temperature, salinity and oxygen
measurements obtained with a CTD-02 profiler, manufactured by
Neil Brown Instrument Systems, together with water sample
measurements of salinity, oxygen, silica, nitrate and phosphate.
Charts showing the station positions and selected profiles of the
various parameters are presented. Bi-monthly cruises aboard the
R/V Endeavor show only slight changes in the ring between April
and June. Interactions between the ring and the Gulf Stream
before the August cruise however, reduced the volume of the
central core of the ring by about 90 percent.
