Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RV Corystes (74RY) cruise COR8/03 |
|---|---|
| Short name | COR8/03 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
The work was generally aimed at achieving a better understanding of the dynamics of the circulation processes of the Western English Channel. In order to characterise the extent and nature of density driven and seasonal jet-like circulation which acts as a direct and rapid pathway for transport of material. The existence of exotic species in the western Channel region is evidence of the potential pathway from the Bay of Biscay or mouth of the Gironde to the UK and Irish coast. The sampling of Karenia mikimotoi which is of interest due to links to HABs was a specific cruise aim. Additionally to study the structure of the mixing in the bottom region, and for comparisons with models a thermistor chain and ADCPs were deployed for the period between the cruises The principle aims of the cruise were completed successfully.
1. To characterise the hydrographic structure associated with the frontal regions and investigate the transport pathways. 2. To undertake sampling to quantify and map the extent of Karenia mikimotoi (by water samples from CTD Rosette ). 3. Deploy ARGOS drifting buoys to quantify the Lagrangian circulation. 4. Deploy Mooring (ADCP and thermistor chain) to study the mixing processes in the transitional region. |
