Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS Challenger (74CH) cruise CH9 |
|---|---|
| Short name | CH9 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. To collect large volume water samples for radio-caesium analysis along a line of stations Sound of Mull - Barra Head - Shelf edge for MAFF, Lowestoft and elsewhere for University of Glasgow.
2. To service SMBA mooring "Y" in the Tiree Passage. 3. To work CTD stations along a line Sound of Mull - Barra Head - Anton Dohrn Seamount (Ellett Line) - Rockall. 4. To work CTD stations along sections in the Minch. 5. To work CTD stations, collect water samples for nutrient and phytoplankton determination and to measure light attenuation along various sections on the continental shelf north of Malin, in the Clyde Sea and Irish Sea. 6. To use an acoustic doppler current profiler to examine currents over the Great Plateau and in the Arran Deep in the Clyde Sea. 7. To collect sediment cores in the Irish Sea. 8. To service and relay current meter moorings in the Clyde Sea. 9. To collect zooplankton samples under various conditions on the shelf and in the Clyde Sea. |
