Purpose

Research

Objectives

Physical Oceanography (second in a series of process cruises). This was the second process study cruise of the North Sea Project, involving:
The deployment of a SEASOAR system.
A CTD survey with the aim of broadly mapping the Flamborough Head frontal system. Once the broad survey was complete, a section was singled out for more intensive survey.
Deployment of drifting buoys.
