As part of the AFMIS/LOOPS/AOSN collaborative effort, the Lucky Lady will be collecting data in Cape Cod Bay (mainly) during Sept. 17 - 5 Oct., 1998. This survey will be collecting temperature, salinity, and chlorophyll profiles at selected stations in the Bay area. In addition, the Tracor TAPS profiling system will be used to identify zooplankton populations. The hydrographic data will be used for initializing and updating the Harvard Ocean Prediction System (HOPS). The nominal cruise tracks for each day are indicated.

Due to weather conditions, no data was collected on 23 and 28 Sept. or 2 and 3 Oct.
