Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS Discovery (74E3) cruise D145 |
|---|---|
| Short name | D145 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. Observe the structure of the upper ocean at the end of winter at two sites with different seasonal characteristics. Observe the physical and biological changes at those sites at the start of the seasonal heating cycle.
The sites chosen were around 40 15'N, 15 0'W and 45 45'N, 13 40'W. At the southern site the mixed layer depth was 150-200m, and the Drifting Spar moved northwards in a frontal structure at an average speed of over 14 cm/s. At the northern site the mixed layer was 250-300m deep, and the spar moved east then south at 10-15 cm/s. 2. Deploy two surface and two subsurface moorings for recovery on Cruise 146. Deploy a deepsea tide gauge for a deep water trial. Test shipborne surface meteorological instrumentation and provide surface fluxes for objective (1). All these objectives were accomplished, but the surface and subsurface moorings set at the northern site were subsequently lost on Cruise 146. |
