Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RV Endeavor cruise EN697 |
|---|---|
| Short name | EN697 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
The RAPID/MOCHA/WBTS programme is a joint research effort between the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS), the NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), and the UK National Oceanography Centre (Southampton, UK). The purpose of this programme is to continuously observe the strength and structure of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation at 26.5N using a trans-basin observing system.
Objectives 1. To recover 8 current meter moorings and 5 short ("bottom-lander") moorings located off the eastern Bahamas along latitude 26.5N. 2. To deploy 6 current meter moorings and 6 short ("bottom-lander") moorings along the same line. 3. To retrieve data from 6 pressure-equipped inverted echo sounders (PIES) by underwater acoustic telemetry, and to recover and redeploy 2 PIES. 4. To conduct CTD (Conductivity-Temperature-Depth) and Lowered ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) sections across the Florida Current at 27N, Northwest Providence Channel, and along the 26.5N RAPID-MOCHA western boundary line east of Abaco, Bahamas. 5. To perform several additional deep water CTD casts to calibrate moored instrumentation. The cruise was split up into three legs to accommodate all the required operations within the limits of available deck space on the R/V Endeavor. |
