Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | Fram cruise 2005 Loch Shieldaig |
|---|---|
| Short name | 2005 Loch Shieldaig |
| Objectives and Narrative | Two current meter mooring deployments, two tide gauge deployments and three drogue release experiments consisting of four drogues each were undertaken in Loch Shieldaig and Loch Torridon to develop a baroclinic circulation model of the area and permit prediction of surface currents and advection of sea lice. A weather station was also installed to monitor local winds, and a CTD survey was undertaken to investigate internal wave activity. |
