EASTROPIC, Compte rendu d'une campagne océanographique dans le Pacifique oriental

From September 22nd to December 19th, 1955, five research agencies collaborated in the study of Pacific, Central and Eastern waters. The vessel "Hugh M, Smith" belonging to the "Pacific Oceanic Fishery Investigation", recorded physical, chemical and biological information on the area crossed by the Equatorial current between longitudes 158° W and 105° W. A unit of the Peruvian fleet gathered information on the northern boundary of the Humbolt current, next to Ecuador. Two vessels from the "Scripps Institution of Oceanography" (University of California), the "Spencer F. Baird" and the "Horizon", focused on the area located between meridian 125° W and the American continent. The "Scofield" of the Fish and Game of California later joined the fleet.
