ABSTRACT:
The Gulf of California on Mexico’s west coast is approximately 1,250 kilometers long, with a climate ranging from temperate to tropical and flanked on both sides by deserts. It has great biological diversity, extreme tides and water characteristics, and is geologically active. The Atlas has a page for each scientific cruise, that could be found, in the Gulf since 1825 to nearly the present. Each page describes the cruise and displays a schematic cruise pattern. The Introduction is in English and Spanish. After the Introduction is a list of key words that have been used to describe the data collected and instruments used, but any word or words can be used to search the Atlas.
