Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RV Franklin cruise 09FA290 |
|---|---|
| Short name | 09FA290 |
| Objectives and Narrative | Cruise FR 02/90 investigated ocean transport in the Tasman Sea. Cruise objectives were to estimate the volume transport (and its time variability) of the EAC along the east Australian coast and in the Tasman Front using CTD, ADCP and current meter moorings; to determine the large-scale general circulation of the Tasman Sea using patterns of tracers (temperature, salinity, oxygen and nutrients) and of density to estimate geostrophic circulation and to determine temporal changes in surface pressure gradient between two points on the Lord Howe Rise, one at 28 degrees S and the other at 38 degrees S using two independent methods (steric height estimate and GEOSAT altimetry). A total of 87 CTD stations and 98 XBTs were completed. ADCP and underway data were continuously recorded and samples were collected for Chlorine-36 analysis at four latitudes and at several depths. Related Franklin cruises are FR 10/89, FR 11/89, FR 03/90, FR 10/91, FR 07/92, FR 07/93 and FR 03/94. |
