B.C.F. TOWNSEND CROMWELL
April
MARCH 1964 CRUISE #3
The April Townsend Cromwell cruise was the third in a series of
cruises run by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Bureau of Commercial Fisheries
covering a fixed grid area to the east of the main Hawaiian Islands for
the purpose of charting the oceanographic climate of this area.
The April cruise ran from 12 April to 14 May, covering approximately
4500 miles in 21 days. Project personnel, who maintained diurnal bird
observations throughout the cruise, included David Bratley and Warren
King. Project personnel also assisted in making six-hour weather
observations and in taking bathythermograph traces.
An attempt will be made to synthesize oceanographic data with the
incidence of bird sightings as soon as the oceanographic data become
available.
