Leg II of R/V Endeavor mission EN-121 departed St. George, Bermuda at 1155 hrs. (GMT), September 18, 1984. Sampling took place in the Nares Abyssal Plain (21/sup 0/ to 25/sup 0/N, 63/sup 0/ to 65/sup 0/W). Six conductivity, temperature, depth sensor (CTD) lowerings, four hydrocasts, four large volume water casts, and four in situ water pump casts were carried out. One current meter mooring was recovered and another was installed at the same site. In addition, 68 expendable bathythermograph probes (XBTs) were deployed, one gravity core was taken, and 11 water samples were pumped while underway back to port (Narragansett, RI). 1 ref., 2 figs., 10 tabs.
