Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS Discovery (74E3) cruise D127 |
|---|---|
| Short name | D127 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
The objectives of this cruise were to continue a study of the physical processes in the frontal convergence of North and South Atlantic Central waters off NW Africa. Initial plans were to survey around moorings laid by RRS Shackleton in November 1981 (22N. 18W), but this was relocated to 20N, 20W as permission could not be obtained to work in Moroccan waters.
Specific planned activities were: (1) Recovery of the three moorings at 22N, 18W. Accomplished. (2) Batfish and CTD surveys of the NACW/SACW front. Batfish lost on first deployment, but accomplished by CTD survey and yo-yo time series. (3) Water sampling for chemical speciation studies. Accomplished. (4) Underway atmospheric dust sampling. Accomplished. |
