Compiled in this report are tables
of zooplankton biomass data (displacement
volume), carbon equivalents, and
associated net tow data (volume filtered,
depth, temperature, and salinity)
collected with a Multlple Opening/Closing
Net Environmental Sampling System
(MOCNESS) during the warm-core ring
cruises which took between September 1981
and October 1982. Rings sampled were
81-D, 82-B, and 82-H. Also included are
plots of tow positions relative to ring
center and plots of biomass and
cumulative proportion of biomass versus
depth. A total of 81 tows and 1220
samples were taken.

The ecology of colonial radiolarians : their colony morphology, trophic interactions and associations, behavior, distribution, and the photosynthesis of their symbionts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1979-08)Colonial radiolarians (Spumellaria) are among the most common and abundant large zooplankton, but they have been little studied by modern biologists. Colonies were found on 98% of epipelagic diving stations in the period ... -
Limits of Nematoscelis megalops in the northwestern Atlantic in relation to Gulf Stream cold core rings. I, Horizontal and vertical distributions
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1979-01)The hydrographic limit of the distribution of Nematoscelis megalops in the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean is usually marked by the abrupt changes in water properties across the Gulf Stream. There are, however, isolated but ... -
Variability in the North Atlantic Deep Western Boundary Current : upstream causes and downstream effects as observed at Line W
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2010-09)The variability in the DWBC, its connection to the forcing in the northern North Atlantic and interaction with the Gulf Stream were explored from a combination of remote sensing and in-situ measurements in the western ...
