It had finished what probably was the most comprehensive hydrographic survey of a sea ever made. Cruise 16, which began August 14, was the second in a series ofhydrographic surveys of the Gulf of Mexico. Each cruise is designed to cover all waters of the Gulf with the goals of describing the sea and determining how the waters and currents change in time. We occupied 151 hydrographic stations (fig. 1) using Nansen bottles with reversing ther- mometers at standard depths. A total of 298 bathythermograph casts was made; samples of surface water for salinity determinations were drawn at each lowering. Salinity and.
