Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS Charles Darwin (74AB) cruise CD97 |
|---|---|
| Short name | CD97 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1) To recover OMEX current meter moorings.
2) To measure the geostrophic transport of the Azores current. 3) To deploy Argos Buoys and ALACE floats. 4) To relate biological and physical parameters to the measured physical structures in the Canary / Azores region. 5) To deploy moored current meters at the Great Meteor Tablemount and in the Azores Current. |
