Purpose

Objectives

A multi-disciplinary survey of the Iceland Basin and Rockall Trough. There were effectively two legs: a large scale CTD survey (4 - 21 May); and a high resolution SeaSoar survey of the Iceland Faeroes Front (IFF) (2 - 20 June).

The principal objectives were:
1) reoccupation of previous Scotland-Rockall-Iceland sections (Extended Ellett Line), which wherever possible lay under altimetric satellite tracks, in order to examine inter- and intra-annual variability within the region;
2) to establish the fate of the North Atlantic Current pathways from the North Atlantic to the Norwegian Sea and the extent to which upper ocean transport occurs via eddies;
3) to map the properties of winter mode waters and to examine whether, for example, saline Eastern North Atlantic Water crosses mean flow paths to circulate from the Rockall Trough to the Reykjanes Ridge;
4) to map nutrient concentrations, phytoplankton biomass and zooplankton distributions in relation to physical regimes (eddies, fronts, seamounts, ridges, etc.);
5) to investigate the mesoscale patchiness of nutrient concentrations, phytoplankton biomass and zooplankton distributions with a view to interpreting and quantifying their interactions and response to physical forcing;
6) To contribute to Techniques for Optimising Environmental Surveys (TOES, a MOD/NERC Joint Grant Scheme Project) by testing algorithms to optimise sampling strategies and objectively design surveys according to measurement error and logistic constraints;
7) to compare properties of the deep outflows through the Faeroe Bank Channel and over the Iceland Faeroes Ridge and their downstream modification;
8) to utilise new sensors.
