Oceans 2025 WP3.2: Fixed Station MS2
Station MS2 is located at 49° 53.82'N, 7° 52.58'W in the Celtic Sea and has a water depth of 114 m. This station was visited as part of the fieldwork carried out for Oceans 2025 Theme 3, Work Package 3.2: Hoizontal Patchiness in Vertical Mixing in Stratified Shelf Seas. Activities were carried out at site MS2 during cruise JC025 from 05 July 2008 to 22 July 2008. The exact position is visible below.
