Oceans 2025 WP3.2: Fixed Station MS4
Station MS4 is located at 49° 45.00'N, 7° 40.00'W in the Celtic Sea and has a water depth of 110 m. This station was visited as part of the fieldwork carried out for Oceans 2025 Theme 3, Work Package 3.2: Horizontal Patchiness in Vertical Mixing in Stratified Shelf Seas. Activities were carried out at site MS4 during cruise JC025 from 04 July 2008 to 23 July 2008. The exact position is visible below.
