Arrival: Jun 15, 2022 | |
Woods Hole | |
Operations Area | |
Northwest Atlantic/ North American Northeastern Shelf/slope | |
Lat/Lon: 43° 0.0′ N / 62° 0.0′ W | |
Depth Range: 100 / 5000 | |
Will the vessel be operating within 200 NM of a foreign country? | USA and Canada |
Are visas or special travel documents required? | no |
Science Objectives | |
The purpose of this voyage is to obtain cores from varying depths on the shelf margin and slope that represent differing subsurface flow regimes. The objective is to obtain a depth transect of cores from locations off of Nova Scotia (Canada) and New Jersey (USA) that represent different flow regimes. These will be used to determine the influence of lateral transport by deep currents on SST records in the NW Atlantic. | |
Science Activities | |
We will be collecting bathymetric data on the voyage (multibeam bottom profiling and 3.5 kHz sub-bottom profiling for core location. We will be coring off of Nove Scotia and New Jersey. We will be collecting water samples at these locations and various location between them. | |
Additional Info | |
Pre-cruise Planning Meeting: Teleconference | |
Media personnel on board: Video, Teachers/ outreach | |
We will have 4 teachers and 2 outreach coordinators who will be documenting our science operations for educational and outreach purposes. They are not media professionals but they will be photographing and filming as a major part of their efforts | |
