Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS Challenger (74CH) cruise CH11A/78 |
|---|---|
| Short name | CH11A/78 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
The objectives of this cruise were:
(1) To deploy a shelf current meter mooring at JASIN Station E2, to the north of St Kilda (58 deg 01 min N, 8 deg 46 min W). Accomplished. (2) To service the deep current mooring at 57 deg 14 min N, 10 deg 36 min W. Accomplished. (3) To make triangular CTD/STD surveys around each JASIN mooring. Accomplished, but may be compromised due to instrument losses during the survey. (4) Map surface temperature and bathymetric depth in the JASIN experimental area. Thermosalinograph temperatures and bathymetric depth logged throughout the cruise. |
