                    grant OCE-9530249.
                    Primary mission: Conduct a hydrographic survey along
                    established tracks in the central Wilkinson Basin
                    centered on instrumented moorings (42-42' N, 69-38' W).
                    Secondary mission: service mooring array as necessary.
Science Activities: CTD/rosette casts (optimistically > 60 stas.)
                    Service moorings as necessary.
Operations Area:    Wilkinson Basin / Gulf of Maine

Notes:                            * Point of Contact & ChSci is Frank Bub
                                  * Requirement for continuous depth
                                  recorder use
                                  * We hope to download all ship recorded
                                  data (CTD/met/t/sal/navigation/adcp)
                                  before docking
                                  * No special computer requirements (we
