| Long name | RRS Challenger (74CH) cruise CH7B/82 |
|---|---|
| Short name | CH7B/82 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
The objectives of this cruise were:
(1) To deploy a current meter mooring at stations F (57.5N, 12.25W) and Z (57 deg 19 min N, 7 deg 39 min W). Accomplished. (2) To service MAFF moorings on the Porcupine slope at 52.5N. Recovered but not re-laid. (3) To work the western half of the Rockall via Anton Dohrn Seamount (Ellett Line) and other CTD sections. Main section from station A (east of the seamount) to M (Rockall) worked, plus a north-south section across the seamount. (4) To recover and service fouling moorings west of South Uist. Accomplished. (5) To make Agassiz trawl and benthic sledge hauls to the east of the Anton Dohrn Seamount and at the SMBA permanent benthos station (54.5N). Accomplished. (6) To work CTD sections in the Sea of the Hebrides. No time available. |
