| 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 and hydrographic sampling with ARIES in the Faroe Shetland Channel Narrative Staff joined the Scotia at 0900hrs, but sailing was delayed until 100hrs due to the late arrival of a ferry. Scotia made passage to a deep-water position in the Moray Firth where all equipment was successfully tested before the vessel set away at 1700hrs for the eastern end of the Jonsis line. This position was reached by 0200hrs on Thursday 3 December; however, the southeasterly swell and winds in excess of 60knts forced the vessel to dodge. At 0730, the decision was taken for the vessel to seek shelter in the Orkney Islands. Scotia left shelter, made passage to the western end of the Jonsis line, and attempted to deploy the CTD, but strong tides and winds made this impossible. The vessel dodged in the area until slack water when the station was started at 0150 on Friday 4 December. Steady progress was made along the line of stations using an Ocean sampler and CTD at every station, and the line was completed by 1945 on Friday 4 December. Scotia made passage for the end of the of the Fair Isle /Munken line, but in deteriorating weather conditions and with a very bad forecast, the ship diverted up the west side of Shetland to attempt to start the Flugga /Nolso line. However, the wind and sea state forced the vessel to seek shelter overnight in St Magnus bay on 5 December. Scotia left St Magnus bay AT 0700hrs on 6 December to land a member of the scientific crew at Scalloway. The vessel sustained light damage coming along side at Scalloway and it was decided to berth the vessel for 24 hours to allow the ship's engineers to repair the damage. Scotia made passage north on 7 December at 0900hrs to commence the Nolso-Flugga line from the eastern end, however very strong winds and heavy swel |
