Introduction

This report collates information from the BODC cruise inventory and oceanographic databases. It presents

Cruise Inventory Information

Long name FRV Scotia (748S) cruise 1611S
Short name 1611S
Objectives and Narrative Objectives

1. To recover and service and redeploy three Faroe-Shetland Channel ADCP moorings.
2. To conduct routine hydrographic sampling at stations along the standard JONSIS, Fair Isle-Munken line and possibly two stations on the old Nolso-Flugga survey line. A new survey line called the Cape Wrath-Munken line will be sampled.
3. To conduct plankton and hydrographic sampling with ARIES in the Faroe Shetland Channel.

Procedure

On sailing from Aberdeen, the vessel will proceed to the eastern end of the JONSIS line and complete both hydrographic stations and ARIES deployments in a westerly direction (Table 1, Figure 1).

The vessel will then proceed to the Faroe-Shetland Channel to recover the ADCP moorings (NWSD - 60° 26.99'N 004° 22.49'W, NWSE - 60° 16.50'N 004° 19.97'W, NWSG - 60° 30.50'N 004° 33.99'W), data will be downloaded and the instrumentation and mooring equipment serviced. While this is done, towed deployments of the ARIES sampler will be carried out at up to three of the deepest stations along the Fair Isle- Munken line (Table 2, Figure 1). Scotia will then, weather permitting re-deploy the ADCP moorings (NWSD - 60° 27.00'N 004° 22.50'W, NWSE - 60° 16.50'N 004° 20.00'W, NWZE - 59° 54.30'N 006° 10.00'W), this being done during daylight hours, and may require more than one day to complete. CTD sampling and plankton sampling will continue while the vessel is not engaged in mooring work.

On completion of the Fair Isle-Munken line, the vessel will proceed to conduct hydrographic sampling at selected stations on the Cape Wrath-Munken survey line. Towed deployments of the ARIES sampler will be carried out at up to two of the deepest stations along the line. If time permits, two stations will be sampled along the Nolso-Flugga line.

Scientific Procedures

The ADCP moorings will be recovered using the plankton crane into the hanger deck to allow servicing to be carried out. Assuming recovery of all three, the vessel will not be able to carry out CTD work from the hanger, so plankton deployments from the trawl deck will be carried out during this period.

It is expected that deployments of hydrographic equipment will be carried out with the CTD crane whilst the vessel is on station.

ARIES deployments from the trawl deck will use the plankton crane.

Three container laboratories will be required (one wet chemical analysis laboratory, two dry containers for electronics work and communications with sampling equipment). Plankton sample sorting and processing will be carried out in part of the fish laboratory.

Hydrophones for receiving data from the plankton samplers will be installed on the drop keel before the start of the cruise.

All plankton samples will be preserved in formaldehyde solution. It is expected that a proportion of the samples will be sorted fresh, with specimens of Calanus finmarchicus being preserved in liquid nitrogen and ethanol. All CTD, Optical Plankton Counter and ARIES data will be worked up at sea.

Hydroacoustic data will be recorded for later analysis, though some preliminary analysis will be undertaken at sea.

Normal contacts will be maintained with the Laboratory.
