Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS Challenger (74CH) cruise CH15 |
|---|---|
| Short name | CH15 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. The deployment and recovery of a mooring at the foot of the continental slope NW of St Kilda. The mooring carried current meters and a recording of benthic resistance thermometer chain (BERTHA).
2. A SeaSoar (towed CTD) survey of the Iceland-Faroes Front. 3. The deployment for 1 year of an inverted echosounder and pressure recorder north of the Faroe Bank. 4. The deployment and recovery of three moorings in the vicinity of the Iceland-Faroes front for a short period during the SeaSoar survey. 5. The working of full depth CTD, O2, transmissometer stations throughout the area. 6. The deployment of an array of current meters and thermistor chains in the Faroe Bank Channel for a period of 1 year. 7. Trials of an acoustic trawl time ocean current monitor (ATTOM) in the Faroe Bank Channel. 8. Continuous recording of depth (PES), current shear (ADCP), and sea surface temperature and salinity (thermosalinograph). 9. Multi frequency echo sounding. |
