Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | FS Meteor (06M3) cruise M15_3 |
|---|---|
| Short name | M15_3 |
| Objectives and Narrative | The program started with current measurements in the Brazil Current at 1 S . The shipborne acoustic Doppler current profiler, ADCP, and expendable current profilers, XCPs, were used. This work was followed by the hydrographic WHP stations on the zonal section A9 at 19 S between South America and Africa. In addition to the WHP observations there were CO2 measurements and an air chemistry program. |
