Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS Challenger (74CH) cruise CH42 |
|---|---|
| Short name | CH42 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. To define the spatial and temporal characteristics of the plume of water originating from the Humber Estuary and the Wash by repetetive sampling for selected conservative and non-conservative constituents around a grid enclosing the plume.
2. To determine the transport pathways for non-conservative constituents in relation to suspended particle/water exchanges through controlled experiments on board the research vessel. 3. To characterise the transfers of nutrient and metal species across the sediment/water interface by controlled on-board incubations of undisturbed cores collected from within the survey area. |
