Voyage/Survey Region

NW Australia/Christmas Island

Voyage/Survey Description

Cruise FR 09/87 was undertaken to examine the currents and water properties in the triangle formed by NW Australia and the Indonesian Archipelago with emphasis on the Pacific Indian Ocean throughflow, the South Equatorial Current, various subsurface features, mixing in the thermocline and currents on the NW Shelf. Examination of the relationship between seabird distribution, ecology and water masses and dredging of bottom samples to understand the origins of Christmas Island and the Sherbakov Seamounts were also conducted. Survey methods included CTD casts, XBT's, Pegasus current profiler, dredges, underway surface water properties, underway current profiles, one new satellite drifter released, five older drifters monitored, accurate soundings with GPS fixes, meteorological and bird observations. Laboratory studies will be conducted on sediment and rock samples collected.
