December 1964 BCF Townsend Cromwell Cruise
The December 1964 Townsend Cromwell cruise was the tenth of a series
of cruises conducted by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Bureau of
Commercial Fisheries covering 'a fixed grid to the east of the high
Hawaiian Islands for the purpose of determining variations in currents
and water types of this area.'
This is the ninth cruise in which Pacific Project personnel have
taken part. Daily sunrise to sunset bird observations were maintained
for a total of 210.0 hours. In addition Project personnel aided in
recording weather observations and in making bathythermograph casts.
Project personnel were Roger Clapp and Warren King.
