Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS Discovery (74E3) cruise D192 |
|---|---|
| Short name | D192 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. Rendezvous with the RRS Charles Darwin in order to transfer urgently needed equipment.
2. Resurvey, using SeaSoar and underway surface chemical measurements, the area marked by the drifting buoys released on Discovery 190. 3. Carry out up to 16 CTD casts within the survey area. 4. Recover the remaining drifting buoys. 5. Recover a BOFS Bathysnap at 48N. |
