Short name | AR1/90 |
Objectives and Narrative |
1) To recover 5 moorings from the Greenland continental slope south of Dohrn Bank
2) To deploy 7 current meter moorings on a section between 63 degrees 39.9 minutes North 32 degrees 58.2 minutes West and 64 degrees 56.9 minutes North 34 degrees 22.2 minutes West, previously surveyed during the TTO 3) To carry out CTD casts and to collect water samples throughout the water column for determination of Freon-11, Freon-12, Freon-113 and silicate concentrations at stations south of, north of and within the Denmark Strait 4) Samples of marine air were collected and analysed for Freons 5) Silicate concentrations were determined at all CTD stations |
