Introduction

This report collates information from the BODC cruise inventory and oceanographic databases. It presents

Cruise Inventory Information

Long name RV Cirolana (74CZ) cruise CIR6/89
Short name CIR6/89
Objectives and Narrative 1. To lay a line of 5 current meter moorings off the Tyne for later recovery by CORYSTES.
2. To recover the East Greenland current meter array of 8 moorings (3 current meters per mooring; 2 thermistor chains; 1 Seacat salinity recorder) and relay the array for recovery 1990.
3. To work CTD, Freons (113, 11 and 12) and CCI4 (if available) at a range of locations from the Greenland Sea to the Labrador coast.
4. To conduct near-bottom hydrography of a few days duration at the foot of the Continental Slope of Porcupine Bank.
5. To test-run the PML pCO2 apparatus continuously around the entire cruise track,
6. To work XBTs for MOD (N) at 6-hour intervals throughout the cruise when in water depths > 200m.
7. To collect bulk (50 1) water samples where required for AEP 1 and for ICES nutrient intercalibration work.
