| Objectives and Narrative |
Objectives
1. To conduct routine hydrographic sampling at stations along the standard JONSIS, Fair Isle-Munken and Nolso-Flugga survey lines. 2. To conduct plankton, nutrients and hydrographic sampling with ARIES in the Faroe Shetland Channel. 3. To take core samples for benthic primary productivity in the Faroe Shetland channel. 4. sample plankton using Methot net. Narrative Scotia sailed from Aberdeen at 10:00 on the 10 of December in poor weather conditions to make for the eastern end of the JONSIS line, however by 18:00 the vessel was forced to turn back and seek shelter just off Fraserburgh. By 07:00 on the 11 December, the sea state and wind had gone down sufficiently to allow passage to a deep trench in the Moray Firth to carry out test deployments of the CTD/carousel and associated crane. A one-ton weight was towed to test the plankton crane and winch function, on successful completion of this an ARIES test deployment was carried out. The vessel made passage to the eastern end of the Jonsis line, where work commenced on Monday 8 December. ARIES and CTD were successfully deployed on an extra station. Scotia was forced to break off work after completing station ten at 02:30 on the 9 December due to very heavy swell and gale force winds. The vessel dodged in the area of station nine for twenty two and a half hours, sampling recommencing at 22:15 on the 9 December and completing the Jonsis line at 12:45 on Monday 10 December. Scotia proceeded to the southern end of the Fair Isle-Munken line and started work on Fim station one at 19:30 on Monday 10 December. Work continued steadily until 23:00, when on Sefos 2 station the hydraulic clamps on the CTD crane failed and had to be replaced. Progress along the Fim line was steady with station Fim 5 being reached by 09:00, however ARIES was towed in the wrong direction and the tow had to be repeated. |
