Area of Operations : Georges Bank, United States, North America, North Atlantic Dates: Mar 29, 1976 to Mar 31, 1976 Chief scientist: Brad Butman
Objectives: The objective of the HORNBEAM cruise was to deploy current meter moorings (#107, 109, 110) at three locations on Georges Bank. A total of 3 surface markers, and 2 subsurface moorings were deployed with 5 VACMs and two pressure-temperature gauges. Type of Activity: Mooring work
Information to be derived: Time series data
Summary: Moorings deployed: 3(#107,109,110 all recovered #76031 OCEANUS OC13 Aug. 12-24, 1976.) #107 - Subsurface scientific mooring 1 current meter and on pressure temperature-gauge; #109 - Surface marker with 1 current meter 1 pressure-temperature gauge; #110 - Two surface markers, one with current meter; One subsurface scientific mooring with 2 current meters); Total number of instruments deployed (current meters (VACM) - 5; pressure-temperature gauges - 2; releases - 2); Collected XBT s - 18.
