Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS Challenger (74CH) cruise CH119A |
|---|---|

| Objectives and Narrative |
1. To continue regular monitoring of the LOIS Humber Wash and Humber Tweed Coastal grids.
2. To follow the progression of the ebb-tide plume from the Humber mouth to the coastal waters and obtain ground-truth data for temperature, salinity and turbidity. 3. To obtain flux data for boundary conditions of a LOIS Special Topic Consortium model of the Humber system. |
