Transient Tidal Eddy Project Data Report, Spring 2008 TTE project data report, spring 2008 TTE data report, spring 2008

The Transient Tidal Eddy (TTE) project consisted of field and modeling components that focused on a better understanding of the kinematics and dynamics of tidal eddy motion generation and evolution in the Great South Channel region east of Chatham, MA. The project divided its observational activities into a strongly stratified phase in spring 2008 and a weakly stratified phase in winter 2008-09. This report focuses on the TTE spring observation phase, which consisted of shipboard CTD and ADCP surveys, and CODAR surface current mapping between 6 and 30 May 2008.
