Summary

Abstract: Biowatt II, a part of the Biowatt program funded by the Office Of
Naval Research, took place in the Sargasso Sea of the North Atlantic,
roughly half way between Bermuda and Cape Hatteras, North
Carolina. Working with T. Dickey (University of Southern California)
and J. Marra (Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory), the Upper Ocean
