Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | FS Meteor (06M3) cruise M27_3 |
|---|---|
| Short name | M27_3 |
| Objectives and Narrative | Hydrographic and ADCP sections to the north and east of Brazil. Deep basin experiment - Brazil basin area. A total of 110 CTD/rosette stations were occupied during the cruise: 24 along AR4W, 16 along AR4E and 70 along AR15. Water sampling on the cruise included measurements of salinity, both by CTD and bottle sample oxygenation determinations, and CTD temperature. Tracer analyses were made for F-11 and F-12. Three moorings were retrieved. |
