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.

Upper ocean dynamics during the LOTUS and TROPIC HEAT experiments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1991-09)This thesis examines the effect of mean large-scale currents on the vertical structure of the upper ocean during two recent observational programs: the Long Term Upper Ocean Study (LOTUS) and the TROPIC HEAT experiments. ...
