This report collates information from the BODC cruise inventory and oceanographic databases. It presents

Cruise Inventory Information

Long name RRS James Clark Ross (74JC) cruise JR20050124 (JR112, JR113)
Short name JR20050124 (JR112, JR113)
Objectives and Narrative The purpose of this mini-cruise on the RRS James Clark Ross was to deploy two moorings and take box cores in support of two AFI funded research projects working in Marguerite Bay. In a 36 hour period 2 moorings were deployed: one 22 miles from Rothera in 841m of water, the other in Ryder Bay 2 miles from Rothera in 503m of water. The moorings will stay in place until next season when they will be recovered and then re-deployed in the same location. In support of these instruments 4 box cores and 2 CTDs were taken.
