Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS Challenger (74CH) cruise CH124 |
|---|---|
| Short name | CH124 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. To work a series of stations around the Clyde Sea.
2. To service the DML/SES (Shelf Edge Study) current mooring Y in the Tiree Passage. 3. To work the Anton Dohrn - Rockall Seamount CTD/nutrient/chlorophyll section (Ellett Line). 4. To work CTD and water sampling stations in the SES area lines N and S. 5. To service and check SES moorings from the shelf and slope region. 6. To obtain multi-cores and gravity cores at SES stations and over the continental shelf. |
