OCEANUS cruises 141 (28 October-4 November 1983) and 145 (22-29 January
1984) were the tenth and eleventh cruises to the Long Term Upper Ocean Study
(LOTUS) area centered at 34°N, 70°W. During OCEANUS 141, a C. S. Draper
Labs profiling current meter (PCM) was set, the fifth LOTUS surface mooring
was recovered, and the deployment of the sixth LOTUS surface mooring was
unsuccessfully attempted. The sixth surface mooring was finally deployed
in January, on OCEANUS 145. This report provides details of the work
accomplished on both cruises, as well as presenting the hydrographic data
collected.
