Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RV Prince Madog (74P2) cruise PD21/05 |
|---|---|
| Short name | PD21/05 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
A) To service an ADCP mooring and a Smartbuoy at 53 32N 3 22W.
B) To service an ADCP mooring and a Smartbuoy at 53 27N 3 39W. C) To obtain CTD profiles and water samples at the Coastal Observatory sites. D) To recover a directional wave buoy at 53 23N 3 14W The cruise is the 27th in a series starting in August 2002 to maintain the moorings in objective (A+B+D) and to steam round a CTD grid in Liverpool Bay / the eastern Irish Sea, objective (C). |
