Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS John Murray cruise JM2/77 |
|---|---|
| Short name | JM2/77 |
| Objectives and Narrative | First in a 2-cruise experiment to determine the residual current field in the Eastern Irish Sea using an array of moored current meters, deployed together with an array of bottom-mounted tide-gauge/current meters to determine tidal friction. This cruise deployed the moorings as well as collecting supporting underway temperature/salinity and CTD data. |
