| Purpose | Research |
| Objectives | The aim of the project is to deploy autonomous vehicles in the North Sea in order to demonstrate long term monitoring capability of ocean health.
This particular cruise was an emergency cruise to recover a leaking slocum glider named Stella unit 436 and to deploy a replacement slocum glider named Cook unit 194 for the project AlterECO. The gliders were deployed 80 miles from coast. No CTD calibrations were undertaken. |
