Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | Oil Tempest cruise 2/97 |
|---|---|
| Short name | 2/97 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
The principal objective of the cruise on the MV OIL TEMPEST was to recover and to re-deploy a current meter mooring in the Block 17 Girassol, offshore Angola.
A full depth CTD was also carried out to calibrate the salinity of the current meters. The mooring was successfully deployed. |
