The objectives of this data report are to provide a commentary on the logistics and methodology of, and also to serve as a documentation of, the experimental and observational data sets obtained during the summer and fall and winter of 1975. Beyond the inclusion of the reduced, i.e., computer processed and filtered, data, no interpretation is provided. It is anticipated that this report will serve as an effective guidebook for future field programs. This report includes data from four cruises (two deployment, two retrieval) of the R/V Advance II during the summer through fall/winter, 1975. Data were collected relevant to the continental shelf processes affecting the oceanography of the South Atlantic Bight. The immediate problems being addressed were those of understanding the processes by which nutrients are transported onto the North Carolina Shelf from offshore and to establish possible transport pathways for effluents discharged into North Carolina coastal waters.
