Science Objectives | |
This research is part of the U.S. led "Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP), an effort to determine the strength of the meridional overturning circulation and associated heat and freshwater fluxes in the subpolar North Atlantic. It is a collaborative program with scientists from several nations, including the U.K., the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Canada. Scientists from the U.S., the U.K., and the Netherlands will participate in this cruise. The specific objectives of this cruise are as follows:
| |
Science Activities | |
| In addition to the above, limited Seabeam surveying will be done to help site moorings along the eastern flank of the Reykjanes Ridge, between 58-59degN and 28-31degW. | |
