Voyage/Survey Description

Cruise FR 06/95 was undertaken to study the flow of bottom, deep and intermediate waters into the Western Australian Basin of the Indian Ocean. Primary aim of this cruise was to deploy ten current meters between Cape Mentelle and Broken Plateau, this was done successfully. Survey methods included ADCPs, CTD casts (a total of 39, the first 28 of these were on the same line as that of a cruise of RRS Charles Darwin in 1987 and many of these 28 casts were designed to be at the same position as casts from that cruise), and underway instrumentation. Data and water samples were collected for on board and laboratory analyses.
