| Objectives | 1. To establish an array of current meter stations in the vicinity of JONIS 2 in order to measure spatial variability of the currents and to provide surface markers for the R.A.E Doppler navigation trials.
2. To arry out test of a new electromagnetic current meter supplied by F.E.R controls.
3. To make D.R.C.M measurements adjacent to some of the current meter stations and to release Woodhead sea-bed drifters at each of them.
