Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RV Prince Madog (74P2) cruise PD52/04 |
|---|---|
| Short name | PD52/04 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. At 53 32N 3 21.8W, half a mile west of the Mersey Bar Light Vessel -
To recover: (a) A sea bed frame for a 600 kHz ADCP (waves ADCP) (b) A CEFAS SmartBuoy in a single point mooring (c) A sea bed frame for a 1.2 MHz ADCP (telemetry ADCP). To deploy: (d) A sea bed frame for a 600 kHz ADCP (waves ADCP) (e) A CEFAS SmartBuoy in a single point mooring (f) A sea bed frame for a 1.2 MHz ADCP (telemetry ADCP) (g) A single point toroid mooring. 2. To conduct a CTD/LISST survey of 35 stations every 5 miles covering the eastern Irish Sea between the North Wales coast and Blackpool and the Lancashire coast and the Great Orme, to determine the effects of the rivers Dee, Mersey and Ribble on Liverpool Bay. To obtain calibration samples for salinity, transmittance, suspended sediment and for chlorophyll at selected stations. To obtain near surface and bed water samples for nutrient and suspended sediment determination. 3. To collect 10 vertical net hauls at the mooring site. |
