Description

EN520 is the fifth of six cruises that span 18 months (one every three months) for the BaRFlux or BR Particles project funded by NSF OCE-1061128. Cruise information is available from UNOLS: http://strs.unols.org/Public/diu_cruise_view.aspx?cruise_id=134850. The study area is the Bermuda Rise (33°41N, 57°36 W). The science party will conduct deployment and recovery operations of one sediment trap mooring (with multiple traps on the mooring), water pumping, and box/multi-coring at a mooring site on the Bermuda Rise. The mooring will consist of 5 sediment trap clusters located at 300, 1000, 1500, 2000, and 4400 m water depth. Pumping will occur at the trap depths and some closer to the surface, and coring will occur on-site as well.

Cruise track generated from control point navigation data from R2R (23 July 2013).

Cruise information and original data are available from the NSF R2R data catalog.
