GOM02-2001-CH Cruise:

Three GoMOOS moorings were deployed on the R/V Cape Hatteras on the EcOHAB cruise from 19 - 29 July 2001. The R/V CAPE HATTERAS departed Portland, Maine on 19 July after loading equipment the previous afternoon. CTD profiles, water samples, and net tows were collected throughout the cruise at over 150 locations throughout the Gulf of Maine. A brief stop in Southwest Harbor was made early in the morning of 24 July to exchange scientific personnel. Mooring I was deployed on 24 July, mooring L was deployed on 25 July, and mooring K was deployed on 26 July 2001. In addition to the moored buoy deployments, 8 drifting buoys were also deployed and tracked for a 24-hour period on 27/28 July. After completing all operations on 28 July, the ship arrived in Portland late on 28 July.

A list of the moorings deployed are shown in the table below:

Acknowledgements:

The excellent support of the captain and the entire crew of the R/V Cape Hatteras is greatly appreciated. The Cape Hatteras once again proved to be an excellent vessel for all aspects of the operations and it was a pleasure to sail on.
