Departure: May 11, 2019 | |
| Reykjavik, Iceland | |
Arrival: May 22, 2019 | |
| Reykjavik, Iceland | |
Operations Area | |
| South of Iceland, east of the Reykjanes Ridge | |
| Lat/Lon: 59° 30.0′ N / 26° 0.0′ W | |
| Depth Range: 200 / 3500 | |
| Will the vessel be operating within 200 NM of a foreign country? | Iceland |
| Are visas or special travel documents required? | no |
Science Objectives | |
Obtain oceanic measurements from the north atlantic storm track to refine forecasting of upper-ocean shear set by the interaction of wind-forced near-inertial waves and mesoscale conditions. | |
Science Activities | |
We will be deploying subsurface full depth ocean moorings (up to 3) which will be comprised of floatation, current meters, sensors to measure temperature, salinity and conductivity, acoustic releases and will be fixed to the bottom with an anchor. | |
