On or about 6 September 2012, you will depart Woods Hole, MA on Voyage KN209-01. Upon completion of science activities, the vessel shall transit to the port of Ponta Delgada, Azores on or before 9 October 2012.
The science objectives of this cruise are as follows:
Deploy three surface moorings in the North Atlantic salinity maximum at 25N, 38 W. Deploy floats, gliders and other AUV's. Perform microstructure and mixing measurements with free profilers. Perform CTD casts and log underway thermosalinograph data in the region of the surface salinity maximum. The scientific personnel participating on this cruise are under the direction of Dr. Raymond Schmitt, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
Image Of the Day caption:
Steve Faluotico of WHOI's Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering Department cleans a sensor on the meteorological mast on R/V Knorr during the September 2012 SPURS cruise to study how salt content fluctuates in the ocean's upper layers and how these variations are related to shifts in rainfall patterns around the planet. The top of the lattice tower, with a variety of weather sensors and lights, is more than 50 feet above the waterline at the bow of the ship. Although it may appear that Steve is performing a high wire act, he's securely tethered to the tower.
