| Long name | FRV Scotia (749S) cruise 0497S |
|---|---|
| Short name | 0497S |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. To perform hydrographic surveys along the standard Faroe-Shetland Channel sections.
2. To attempt recovery of the single NWOCE ADCP mooring at the shelf edge west of Shetland. 3. To deploy a deepwater ADCP mooring near the centre of the Faroe-Shetland Channel. 4. To deploy and recover an experimental benthic lander and camera system at various locations west of Shetland. 5. To perform repeat ADCP sections in conjunction with satellite altimeter over-flights. 6. To perform experimental deep water trawls northwest of Shetland. 7.
