May 1965 BCF Townsend Cromwell Cruise No. 16
The May 1965 Townsend Cromwell cruise, from 12 May to 31 May,
was the fourteenth of a series of 15 monthly cruises run by the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Bureau of Commercial Fisheries
to the south, east, and north of the high Hawaiian Islands for the
purpose of determining monthly variation in the structure and
position of water types and currents in the area.
This was the thirteenth cruise in which Pacific Project personnel
have taken part. Daily sunrise to sunset bird observations were
made for a total of 250.8 hours. In addition Project personnel
assisted in making standard marine weather observations and
in recording bathythermograms. Warren King was the sole Project
personnel aboard this cruise.
