Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RV Cirolana (74CZ) cruise CIR5/85 |
|---|---|
| Short name | CIR5/85 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. To recover the nine-mooring current meter array at the SCFAR float launch site in the Iberia Abyssal Plain.
2. To recover NEADS-6 (8th deployment) and to lay a coherent nine-mooring c/m array (upper-bottom type) around the NEADS-6 site on the continental rise at the mouth of the Rockall Channel. 3. To work tandem Gerard barrel sampling and 30-1 rosette (+CTD) sampling for Cs and Pu in water at a few sites within the NEA dumpsite and 'upstream' (southwards) with emphasis on the near-bottom layer. 4. To take Reinek box cores at the same sampling locations to assess Pu ratios in surficial sediments, plus a bulk bear-bottom water sample for the in situ Pu Kd estimation. 5. To deploy fish traps at the same sampling locations to assess Cs and Pu levels in fish. 6. To recover and redeploy the dumpsite dummy drum mooring. 7. XBT's on passage (selected legs). 8. Surface Cs samples for Mr Jefferies where specified. |
