FR 02/98 (alternative identifier: FR199802)    - is a Marine National Facility voyage

Period: 1998-01-30 00:00 to 1998-02-17 00:00 Local

Duration: 18.00 days

From: Adelaide To: Hobart

Region: Southern Ocean and Tasman Sea

Ship: Franklin [details]

Description: Cruise FR 02/98 was undertaken for Subtropical Front temperature and transport studies (cruise 1 of 2). The aims of this first cruise of two (FR 10/98), being in the summer season is to: verify or refute the permanent existence and regional continuity of the Subtropical Front south of Australia; determine the seasonal variation in position and magnitude of the sea surface temperature gradient across the Subtropical Front south of Australia and in the Tasman Sea; estimate the velocity field and associated transport of the Subtropical Front; and determine the continuity of transport from the east Indian Ocean to the Tasman Sea. Survey methods included thermosalingraph and ADCP transect from Gulf St. Vincent to 40 degrees S, 118 degrees E, SeaSoar transects across the Subtropical Front, each on average 300 km long, CTDs and underway instrumentation. Recovery of two shallow current meter moorings from the shelf off western Tasmania was also conducted.
