FR 01/91 (alternative identifier: FR199101)    - is a Marine National Facility voyage

Period: 1991-01-06 00:00 to 1991-01-13 00:00 Local

Duration: 7.00 days

From: Hobart To: Adelaide

Region: Bass Strait

Ship: Franklin [details]

Description: Cruise FR 01/91 was principally a deployment cruise. 11 moorings were laid for the "Bass Strait Interdisciplinary Study" and 5 moorings were laid for the "Low Frequency Circulation Study at the western end of Bass Strait". The period of the instrument deployments was planned to cover the time of summer stratification through to winter mixing. 27 CTD stations were conducted and underway instrumentation recorded continously. The Strait appeared to be well mixed vertically down to about 50 m, horizontally stratified, warmest water, around 17.6 degrees C, in the NE, and the coolest in the SW, at 15.3 degrees C. There appears to be a pool of cold water in the deep central Strait where the depth exceeds 50 m. The western end of the Strait, between King Island and Cape Otway is strongly stratified in the vertical. The CTD sections do not resolve the NW sector of the Strait in which the transition from strong to zero stratification occurs. Water samples were collected for chemical analysis.
