| Cruise period | 1991-09-02 — 1991-09-25 | ||||||||
| Status | Completed | ||||||||
| Port of departure | Reykjavík, Iceland | ||||||||
| Port of return | Hamburg, Germany | ||||||||
| Objectives | North Atlantic, WOCE section A01E
Cruise studied hydrographical and nutrient parameters and tracer substances such as tritium, helium, CFC's and radiocarbon. In addition the quantities relevant to determine the ocean carbon cycle were sampled. Measurements on stratification were complemented by direct current measurements, employing ADCP for the upper 300m and deploying long term moored current meter arrays along the survey line (Ireland to Kap Farvel) | ||||||||
