Abstract
Results of direct ocean current measurements at the entrance of the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortes) are presented. Velocity measurements were made using an acoustically-tracked dropsonde called Pegasus at six sites across the entrance to the Gulf. 49 Pegasus deployments were completed over the course of two oceanographic cruises in April 1992 and December 1992/January 1993. During each cruise two complete velocity transections were obtained, providing four independent realizations of the current structure. The data herein are presented by Pegasus deployment site as six sets of mean and individual velocity profiles.
