Temperature, salinity, pressure, and transmissivity profile data from R/V Wecoma and R/V Thompson off the coast of northern Oregon and southern Washington in the vicinity of Quinault and Astoria Canyons, 1978-1979 (NODC Accession 0114996)

This set of hydrographic casts are from two cruises. These cruises were part of a Department of Energy sponsored program entitled Pollutant Transport and Sediment Dispersal in the Washington-Oregon Coastal Zone. The program included CTD temperature, salinity, pressure and transmissivity observations. The focus of the study was investigate the effect of a narrow submarine canyon on the low-frequency mid-depth shelf circulation.
