Operations Area | |
| Icelandic Basins | |
| Lat/Lon: 60° 0.0′ N / 25° 0.0′ W | |
| Depth Range: 0 / 4000 | |
| Will the vessel be operating within 200 NM of a foreign country? | Request operations within Iceland's 200NM limit |
| Are visas or special travel documents required? | no |
Science Objectives | |
Near Inertial Shear and Kinetic Energy in the North Atlantic Experiment (NISKINE) We seek to explore the near-surface decay and subsequent vertical/lateral propagation of wind energy in the ocean. | |
Science Activities | |
| Deploy and recover autonomous Slocum and Wave Glider, CTD/LADCP, operate Scripps fastCTD system, arial surveys. Operate remote control kayak ("ROSS" -- OSU), deploy drifters and wave buoys | |
