CE0903 Oceanographic Survey

In order to begin to collect key oceanographic data two dedicated research cruises are conducted annually in the Irish region. The foundation of these cruises is the acquisition of oceanographic data such as temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence and ocean currents. A cross service group function was introduced by acquiring phytoplankton, zooplankton, and fish larva samples and gathering bathymetric data (including ground truthing samples) for the INFOMAR project. This inter-institutional and multi-disciplinary survey, led by the Marine Institute and National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG), was conducted in February 2009 on board the R.V. Celtic Explorer. The main purpose of the cruise was to examine Hydrographic conditions in Rockall Trough. A total of 43 stations were surveyed for a variety of parameters including CTDs, grab samples and cores, nutrients, salinity and phytoplankton. Four ARGO floats were also deployed.为收集关键海洋学数据，爱尔兰海域每年会开展两次专属研究航次。此类航次的核心基础为获取温度、盐度、溶解氧、荧光值及海流等海洋学数据；同时为支撑INFOMAR项目，本次航次增设跨职能工作组任务，涵盖浮游植物、浮游动物与鱼类幼体样本采集，以及测深数据（含地面验证样本）的收集工作。 本次由爱尔兰海洋研究所（Marine Institute）与爱尔兰国立高威大学（National University of Ireland, Galway，简称NUIG）牵头的跨机构多学科调查，于2009年2月搭载“凯尔特探险家号”（R.V. Celtic Explorer）科考船执行。本航次的核心目的为探究罗卡尔海槽（Rockall Trough）的水文状况。本次调查共布设43个站位，针对多类参数开展观测采样，包括CTD（温盐深剖面仪）数据、抓斗样本、岩芯样本、营养盐、盐度及浮游植物相关指标，同时部署了4台ARGO浮标（ARGO float）。
