Deployment: B4-2008

2008-04-01 - 2008-04-06 subpolar North Atlantic, Iceland Basin, 58.8° to 59.2° N 20° to 20.9° W Platform:R/V Bjarni Saemundsson (vessel)

Description

Deployment cruise:

R/S Bjarni Saemundsson departed 1 April 2008 10:00 from Reykjavik to deploy 2 floats (Biofloat 47 and 48 and 4 Seagliders (SG 140, 141, 142, 143); these were all successfully deployed on 4 April 2008. Biofloat 47 failed within a few weeks of deployment; therefore its data are not reported.

CTD profiles (n=9) and water samples were collected before and after the autonomous platform deployment. R/S Bjarni Saemundsson returned to Reykjavik on 6 April 2008.
