Oceans and Seas is an authoritative and comprehensive guide to Earth's great bodies of water. Each volume contains a wealth of information, including physical features--"surface area and depth, how the ocean was formed, plate movements, coastlines, islands, and more; climate--"including tides, currents, trade winds, hurricanes, and tsunamis; marine life; the history of human settlement along the shores; transportation and navigation; natural resources; and current threats--"including the effects of pollution, overfishing, and mining. Numerous maps, charts, fact boxes, and primary source quotations supplement the text. Supporting both the science and social studies curriculum, this series is truly an indispensable resource.

During September and October 1972, scientists aboard the R/V Thomas G. Thompson studied the thermohaline and density structures in the tradewind region east of the Hawaiian Islands. An additional hydrographic section was made from the working area to San Diego, Ca. A total of 300 stations were taken. The primary objectives of the field study in the tradewind region east of Hawaii were: 1) to investigate the mesoscale thermohaline and density structures in 2700 km high resolution sections across the tradewind region. 2) to determine the subtropical and doldrum fronts occuring at the boundaries of this region. 3) to study the mesoscale dynamic height and baroclinic flow perturbations in the tradewind region. 4) to assess the mesoscale and baroclinic flow structures across the California current between the subtropical gyre and the coast.
