This report presents velocity data from the Northwest Tropical Atlantic Station (NTAS)
deployments 1 through 5, from March 30, 2001, to February 28, 2006. The NTAS project
has maintained a series of moorings near 14°50'N, 51°00'W in the northwest tropical Atlantic
for air-sea flux measurement. The moorings include a surface buoy outfitted with Air-
Sea Interaction Meteorology (ASIMET) systems for determination of bulk air-sea fluxes and
oceanographic sensors along the upper 120 m of the mooring line. This report describes and
presents the velocity data recovered from current meters and Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers
(ADCPs) during the first five years of the NTAS project.

The Subduction experiment : cruise report R/V Oceanus : cruise number 240 leg 3 : subduction 1 mooring deployment cruise, 17 June-5 July 1991
Trask, Richard P.; Brink, Nancy J. (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1993-03)Subduction is the mechanism by which water masses formed in the mixed layer and near the surface of the ocean find their way into the upper thermocline. The subduction process and its underlying mechanisms were studied ...
