Objectives | Annual BSH North Sea Summer Survey
The surveys were realised since 1998 at a time when thermal stratification is expected to be at its maximum and phytoplankton production has passed its maximum. The surveys include seven coast to coast East-West sections between 54° and 60° N, additional stations between 54° N and the entrance of the English Channel, and Stations in the English Channel (every 2 years). With the exception of the first survey in 1998 all surveys served a fixed station grid for vertical CTD profiles and water samples. Objective of the cruise is the determination of the oceanographic and chemical status of the North Sea during summer. |
