Abstract
The Long-Term Upper Ocean Study (LOTUS) was a two-year field experiment
near 34°N, 70°W, designed to acquire a continuous set of measurements of
currents and temperatures in the upper, open ocean together with local
hydrography, meteorology, and mesoscale oceanographic features. The first
scientific moorings were deployed in May 1982. The first year of mooring
data, from May 1982-April 1983, is presented by Tarbell, Pennington and
Briscoe (1984, W.H.O.I. Tech. Rept. 84-36). The second year of mooring data,
from April 1983-May 1984, when the final mooring recovery occurred, is
presented here.
