Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown cruise RB0602 |
|---|---|
| Short name | RB0602 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
The purpose of RB0602 was threefold:
1. To conduct hydrographic (CTDO2) and direct current profiling (lowered-ADCP, "LADCP") stations along the 26.5N mooring section off Abaco, Bahamas; and along sections in the Northwest Providence Channel and Florida Current at 27N. 2. To deploy two inverted echo sounder (IES) and recover data (via acoustic telemetry) from IESs deployed previously along the Abaco 26.5N line. 3. To service a set of moorings that constitute the "western boundary array" of the RAPID/MOCHA transbasin moored array. The cruise operations fell naturally into 3 segments. First, a CTDO2/LADCP section was completed from east-to-west across the width of the western boundary array, then mooring servicing operations were conducted from west-to-east across the array, and then final CTDO2/LADCP sections were competed in the Northwest Providence Channel and the Florida Straits. The CTDO2/LADCP sections are important for calibration and cross-checking of results from the western boundary moored array. The main hydrographic section that is east of Abaco Island Grand Bahamas, sampled the Deep Western Boundary Current and Antilles Current region east of the Bahamas and are part of an ongoing time series of these currents collected since 1984 by AOML |
