Cruise Inventory Information

Long name RV Neil Armstrong cruise AR30-04 (F2018-007, OSNAP East 2018)
Short name AR30-04 (F2018-007, OSNAP East 2018)
Objectives and Narrative This research is part of the US-led project Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP), an effort to determine the strength of the meridional overturning circulation and associated heat and freshwater fluxes in the subpolar North Atlantic. It is a collaborative program with scientists from several nations, including the UK, Netherlands, Germany, France, Canada and China. Scientists from the US, UK and Netherlands participated in this cruise.

The UK objectives of cruise AR30-04 were to:

1. Recover and redeploy three moorings in the Rockall Trough; deploy three moorings in the Iceland Basin (two replacing US moorings and one new mooring).
2. Conduct standard CTDO2 (Conductivity-Temperature-Depth-Dissolved Oxygen) and Lowered ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) stations at approximately 80 stations along the same mooring line, with water sampling at selected sites for salinity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved inorganic carbon, nutrients (nitrate, silica, phosphate), and nitrogen and silica isotopes.
3. To deploy Argo floats at two locations along the section.
4. To collect invertebrates colonizing mooring hardware for micro-plastics analysis.
