Objectives

Objectives

1. Perform hydrographic surveys along the JONSIS standard section in the northern North Sea.

2. Perform biological sampling along the JONSIS standard section using the Ocean Sampler with additional positions to be sampled in the immediate area.

3. Recover and redeploy two current meter moorings East of Shetland.

4. Perform a CTD survey East of Shetland.

5. Perform hydrographic surveys along the standard Faroe - Shetland Channel sections.

6. Take samples for long-term storage at Fair Isle - Munken stations FIM-01 and FIM-06.

7. Service two ADCP moorings in the Faroe Shetland Channel.

8. Recover an ADCP mooring on the Wyville-Thomson Ridge for redeployment for the THOR project (see objective 9).

9. Deploy two additional ADCP moorings for the THOR project in the Faroe Shetland Channel.

10. Perform CTD surveys along the Shelf Edge / Fair Isle Channel as time allows.

Narrative

Scotia sailed from Aberdeen at 0900 (all times are GMT) on Thursday 1 October for crew familiarisation of the CTD crane operation prior to making passage to the start of the JONSIS standard section. The opportunity was also taken at the familiarisation position to test the SBE19 (6029) CTD, which had been giving problems on an earlier cruise. Deployment tests showed that this CTD was operating as it should.

Scotia arrived at the start of the JONSIS section at 0343 on Friday 2 October and sampling by CTD/carousel sampler and Ocean Sampler was completed at 1905 on the same day (Stns. 476 487). Passage was made to east of Shetland to commence sampling the three East Shetland CTD sections (Stns 488-519). This work commenced at 0125 on Saturday 3 October and was completed at 2347 on Sunday 4 October with a break during this survey work of seven hours due to gale force conditions.

Following this, passage was made to the first of the two East of Shetland moorings. Moorings East Shetland 1 and 2 were recovered and redeployed s
