AMT11
The AMT11 cruse sailed onboard the RRS James
Clark Ross from Grimsby, UK on 12 September 2000 and ended in
Montevideo, Uruguay on 11 October 2000. The prinicipal scientist
for the cruise was Malcolm Woodward from the Plymouth Marine
Laboratory.
This cruise was different to previous AMT cruises in that it was
coupled to a number of projects under the AMT banner. As well as
core scientists from AMT there were two researchers from the
Southampton Oceanography Centre carrying out meterological
investigations as part of the Autoflux project, and the newly
fitted Swath Bathymetry system was also being trialled and a survey
was carried out in the Romanche Fracture Zone, part of the
mid-Atlantic ridge system.
