Cruise Inventory Information

Long name RV Clione cruise CLI4/85
Short name CLI4/85
Objectives and Narrative 1. To recover a current meter station from the North Channel and lay an array of 12 current meter stations.
2. To lay and recover a current meter test rig to compare the performance of modified meters. No trace of the station to be recovered was found.
3. To make a CTD survey of the North Channel.
4. To take water samples for analysis of cadmium lead and copper on board.
5. To lay the near bed velocity meter off Southwold on the outward passage and recover on return.
6. To take water samples for caesium analysis on passage to the Irish Sea.
