Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RV Franklin cruise 09FA693 |
|---|---|
| Short name | 09FA693 |
| Objectives and Narrative | Cruise FR 06/93 was undertaken for deep ocean circulation studies of the Tasman and Coral Seas. Cruise objectives included to estimate deep circulation and water mass properties through the deepest parts of the Coral and Tasman Sea Basins; to estimate the zonal transports (at all depths) into the western boundary current region of the South Pacific and to estimate the transport of deep water between the Coral and Solomon Sea Basins, between the Coral and Tasman Sea basins ; to determine the latitudinal differences in primary production and photosynthetic rate parameters, to examine how primary production affects near surface pC02 distributions, and to model the processes that determine the uptake of C02. The survey included sampling along Pacific line P11 as part of WOCE (World Ocean Circulation Experiment). Survey methods included ADCP, CTD sections, XBTs and underway instrumentation. On board analyses were carried out for salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, silicate and phosphate. C-14 sampling was also conducted. |
