This is a geochemical report for the MITAS 1 expedition on the Beaufort Sea during September 2009, aboard the USCG Polar Sea. The overall cruise focus integrated research expertise in coastal ocean geophysics, sediment geochemistry, dissolved and free methane fluxes through the water column and into the atmosphere, sediment and water column microbiology and biogeochemistry, and detailed characterization of the sub-seafloor geology to address the following research topics: (1) Acquire ...

Eddy processes of the Western Adriatic Current near Cape Gargano are highly modulated by the wind, growing during calm periods following strong wind events. Both single anticyclones and trains of multiple eddies with a regular spacing are observed. Suppression of a single anticyclone in the lee of the Cape was observed by profiling SEPTR moorings to occur when the horizontal gradient of the thermocline depth was increased by the wind. ...
