I . INTRODUCTION 



During the summer of 1964, an oceanographic survey was conducted 

 in the northern Greenland Sea and adjacent Arctic Ocean aboard USS 

 EDISTO (AGB 2) . Fifty stations were occupied between 31 August and 

 14 September (Fig. 1). The purpose of this report is to present 

 and to interpret some of the physical and chemical data collected 

 at these stations. Four additional oceanographic stations for ice 

 forecasting were occupied to the south of the main survey area but 

 are not discussed in this report.

II. METHODS AND INSTRUMENTS 



Navigation in the survey area is poor, and it is possible that 

 some station locations are in error by as much as 20 miles. The 

 appendix lists the primary method of navigation used to determine 

 the position of each station and the navigator's estimate of the 

 relative accuracy of the position.
