Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS John Murray cruise JM4/77 |
|---|---|
| Short name | JM4/77 |
| Objectives and Narrative | Second in a 2-cruise experiment to determine the residual current field in the Eastern Irish Sea using an array of moored current meters, deployed together with an array of bottom-mounted tide-gauge/current meters to determine tidal friction. This cruise recovered the moorings as well as collecting supporting underway temperature/salinity and CTD data. |
