Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | BIO Hesperides (29HE) cruise 29HE06 |
|---|---|
| Short name | 29HE06 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
WOCE section A05
Water sampling included measurements of salinity (CTD and bottle sample), CTD and bottle sample Oxygen determination, CTD temperature, nutrients (silicate, nitrate, nitrite and phosphate), CFC, pH, alkalinity, CO2, particulate matter, chlorophyll pigments, C14, A1, ADCP. 118 CTD/rosette stations were occupied using a 24 sample bottle rosette. 6 test stations were made between Cadiz and Las Palmas, 101 on the A05 section and 11 on the Strait of Florida section. |
