Data Trawler - Survey Details

FR 07/96 (alternative identifier: FR199607)    - is a Marine National Facility voyage

Period: 1996-08-14 00:00 to 1996-09-11 00:00 Local

Duration: 28.00 days

From: Fremantle To: Fremantle

Region: Tropical Indian Ocean

Ship: Franklin [details]

Description: Cruise FR 07/96 was undertaken to study freshwater and heat budgets in the Tropical Indian Ocean. Primarily to measure the spatially inhomogeneous freshwater input. An instrumented drifting buoy was deployed at 2 degrees S, 93 degrees E and followed for several days. Radar images (3cm) were recorded at 10 minute intervals through the drift, for use in estimating the rainfall field away from the ship and buoy. Survey methods included boom and meteorological instrumentation, SeaSoar and silverfish deployments, ADCP, CTDs, radiometer measurements and TASCO infrared radiation thermometer tests, current meter recovery and underway instrumentation. Data analysis commenced on board and a draft paper on the results of the budget calculations has been prepared. On this occasion achieved heat budget closure to the desired level of 10 W/m2.
