Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RV Prince Madog (74P2) cruise PD29/04 |
|---|---|
| Short name | PD29/04 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. To service an ADCP and a SmartBuoy at 53 32 N 3 21.8 W.
2. To obtain CTD profiles and water samples at the Coastal Observatory sites. The cruise is the 19th in a series starting in August 2002 to maintain the moorings in objective (1) and to steam round a CTD grid in Liverpool Bay/the eastern Irish Sea, objective (2). |
