| Woods Hole | |
Arrival: Oct 13, 2011 | |
| Woods Hole | |
Operations Area | |
| North Atlantic | |
| Lat/Lon: | |
| Depth Range: min / max (m) | |
| Will the vessel be operating within 200 NM of a foreign country? | Canada |
| Are visas or special travel documents required? | no |
Science Objectives | |
| To collect settling and suspended particles at 3 locations on the northwest atlantic margin to determine carbon transport from the shelf/slope to the deep basin, coupled with physical oceanographic data from moorings at station W. | |
Science Activities | |
| To recover 3 moorings and redeploy 1 mooring at station w. To take (3) hydrocasts, one at each station to determine nepleloid layers with transmisometer and turbitily sensors on CTD. To tale (3) LVP casts, one at each station. (optional) To take (2) 2 muticores at 2 of the stations. (optional) | |
