Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS Challenger (74CH) cruise CH101B |
|---|---|
| Short name | CH101B |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. To collect water samples for radiocaesium studies and for nutrient and phytoplanktonic analysis at standard positions between the Sound of Mull and the shelf edge West of Barra: to make CTD profiles on this line.
2. To maintain DML current meter mooring in the Tiree Passage. 3. To work the CTD stations of the Anton Dohrn Seamount (Ellett Line) section between the shelf-edge and Rockall and to collect nutrient and phytoplankton samples. 4. To maintain the DML/WOCE temperature-salinity mooring at station M in the Rockall Trough. 5. To work shelf CTD sections in the Sea of the Hebrides and the Clyde Sea area. 6. To collect sediment cores and grab samples from the Clyde Sea and Hebridean shelf. |
