A compilation of moored current meter and wind recorder data : volume XXXV, Long-Term Upper Ocean Study (LOTUS) ; (Moorings 764, 765, 766, 767, 770), May 1982 - April 1983

LOTUS was a two-year experiment near 34°N, 70°W, designed to acquire and analyse 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 here.Funding was provided by the Office of Naval Research under Contracts No. N00014-76-C-0197, NR 083-400 and N00014-84-C-0134, NR 083-400
