BODC Cruise Metadata Report for RV Falcon Spirit cruise 2012-08

Introduction

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

Cruise Inventory Information

Long name RV Falcon Spirit cruise 2012-08
Short name 2012-08
Objectives and Narrative The data were acquired from the RV Falcon Spirit, the Plymouth University vessel. The small 14m catermaran was used on a daily basis from 10 August 2012 to 24 August 2012 based off northern Cornish Coast in the Celtic Sea. The aim was to better understand which processes are most important within marginally stratified shelf seas. This project was funded by the NERC Discovery Science grant NE/I001832/1 - Assessing the sensitivity of marginally stratified shelf seas within a changing climate.

Objectives

To identify the processes involved in the existence and intensity of the front displays that are not governed by tidal periodicities.
To test whether the processes that were identified as important to changes in shelf sea stratification through in-situ measurements are indeed responsible for the observed changes.
To incorporate new knowledge into state-of-the-art numerical models that can up-scale the processes observed within this project to the shelf sea environment.
