Description:
Abstract:
A Seabird SBE37 Microcat CTD was attached to an instrument cage 1 meter below the surface on a drifter buoy. This dataset was measured during the MUSE experiment from MBARI's D1 drifter deployed along the coast of California just north of Monterey Bay.
Purpose: These data were collected for oceanographic research.
