JR20030725 (JR98)

Cruise period

2003-07-25 — 2003-08-13

Status

Completed

Port of departure

Portsmouth Harbour, United Kingdom

Port of return

Cork, Ireland

Purpose

Research

Objectives

The project aims to:
1. Provide a better understanding of internal mixing processes in stratified regions, including the development of better parameterisations of this mixing for numerical models.
2. Provide a better understanding of the sub-surface primary production, which can be used alongside satellite-based methods for quantifying marine primary production.
3. Quantify the role of the SCM in the shelf sea carbon cycle.
