Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RV Oceanus cruise OC401 |
|---|---|
| Short name | OC401 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
The measurements were made as a contribution to the U.S. Clivar / U.K. RAPID study of interannual variability of the North Atlantic Ocean's meridional overturning circulation. Along Station W, a measurement line running from the shelf break south of Woods Hole towards Bermuda below a Jason altimeter satellite track the objectives were:
1. To deploy of a 6 element mooring array 2. To occupy a hydrographic section (18 full depth CTD stations). |
