February 1965 Townsend Cromwell Cruise
The February 1965 Townsend Cromwell cruise, from 8 February to
27 February, was the twelfth of a series of sixteen 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 the water types and currents of
this area.
This was the eleventh cruise in which Pacific Project personnel
have taken part, maintaining daily sunrise to sunset bird observations.
Observations on this cruise totalled 222.7 hours. In addition Project
personnel aided in recording weather observations and in recording
bathythermographs. Project personnel were Roger Clapp and Warren King.
