Two moorings were deployed in June/July 1986, each with 2 current meters and recovered a year later. Seven further moorings (12 current meters) were deployed in the summer of 1987 and recovered one year later. Eight moorings, each with 3 current meters, and 2 thermistor chains were deployed for the year June 1988 to June 1989. One thermistor chain failed.
