Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RV Prince Madog (74P2) cruise PD20/06 |
|---|---|
| Short name | PD20/06 |
| 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. The cruise is the 35th in a series starting in August 2002 to maintain the moorings in objective (A+B) and to steam round a CTD grid in Liverpool Bay / the eastern Irish Sea, objective (C). |
