©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.A surface mooring was deployed off the coast of Oman along the climatological axis of the Findlater Jet from October 1994 to October 1995.
The location chosen for the surface mooring, 15.5°N, 61.5°E, was close to the climatological maximum in the wind speed during the height of the Southwest Monsoon. Two separate mooring deployments, the first beginning October 15, 1994, and ending April 20, 1995, and the second starting April 22, 1995, and ending October 10, 1995, were used so that a second set of freshly calibrated sensors was deployed prior to the onset of the Southwest Monsoon.
