Ship name (ship code)

RV Belgica (11BE)

Cruise identifier

BG9522

Cruise period

1995-09-22 — 1995-09-29

Status

Completed

Port of departure

Lorient, France

Port of return

Zeebrugge, Belgium

Objectives

Belgian Global Change Impulse Programme; OMEX Biogeochemistry Programme; Benthic Studies Programme. MUMM contribution - sampling stations, trackplot, SCTD profiles and horizontal profiles of salinity, temperature and fluorescence. This cruise combined the OMEX biochemistry programme and benthic studies programme. The latter studies the spatial structure in the hyperbenthic communities of the North Sea.

The ship sampled station 12 on the Meriadzek Terrace and then sailed 40 miles to the north-east and sampled stations 13-19. Stations 20-25 were sampled in the English Chnnel on the way to Zeebrugge.

13 stations were sampled with 15 SCTD casts.
