FR 11/89 (alternative identifier: FR198911)    - is a Marine National Facility voyage

Period: 1989-09-07 00:00 to 1989-09-26 00:00 Local

Duration: 19.00 days

From: Brisbane To: Hobart

Region: Tasman Sea

Ship: Franklin [details]

Description: Cruise FR 11/89 was undertaken to investigate ocean transport in the Tasman Sea. Cruise objectives were to estimate the volume transport (and its time variability) of the EAC along the east Australian coast and in the Tasman Front using CTD, ADCP and current meter moorings; to determine the large-scale general circulation of the Tasman Sea using patterns of tracers (temperature, salinity, oxygen and nutrients) and of density to estimate geostrophic circulation and to determine temporal changes in surface pressure gradient between two points on the Lord Howe Rise, one at 28 degrees S and the other at 38 degrees S using two independent methods (steric height estimate and GEOSAT altimetry). A total of 78 CTD stations and 61 XBTs were completed. ADCP and underway data were continuously recorded. Most of the data appears to be of high quality (with some doubt about some of the deep nutrient data).
NOTE The datasets from FR 10/89 and FR 11/89 were merged and processed with one name: FR198910
note, a WOCE cruise report was written, in which "FR 10/89 leg 1" refers to FR 10/89, and "FR 10/89 leg 2" refers to FR 11/89).
