Cruise Objective:   Continuation of the series of cruises being run in
                    support of the Atlantic Circulation and Climate
                    Experiment (ACCE), a component of the World
                    Ocean Circulation experiment (WOCE). The purpose of
                    this cruise is to collect hydrographic data on a
                    meridional section nominally along 66 degrees West
                    longitude from the Venezuela coast to Puerto Rico and
                    thence northward to the continental shelf south of
                    Cape Cod.
Science Activities: Scientific activities will include CTD/rosette casts,
                    the collection of underway and lowered ADCP data and
                    the deployment of profiling ALACE (PALACE) floats.

                    The first station, at the sill of the Carioca Basin,
                    may be done as a joint operation with the Venezuelan
                    R/V Hermano Gines of the Edimar Laboratory.
