| Measurements | |
| Physical oceanography | |
| CTD stations | Quantity: activity duration in days = 7 Description: Sampling was carried out along 10 stations along the northwest shelf of the Hebrides. Problems were experienced with the equipment due to bad weather. |
| Subsurface temperature and salinity measurements | Description: Temperature sensors failed due to leaking casings, so recordings were not noted. No. of samples not specified. |
| Biology and fisheries | |
| Phytoplankton | Quantity: number of deployments = 48 Description: ARIES was deployed a large number of times to gain water and plankton samples. |
| Phytoplankton | Quantity: number of stations = 7 Description: The Dual MIKT was deployed at various stations to a depth on 1000m, 23 plankton hauls were collected. |
