AMT13
This was the second in the series of cruises
funded by a NERC Consortium Grant. The RRS James Clark
Ross set sail from Immingham in the UK on 8 September
2003 and arrived in Stanley, Falkland Islands on 13 October
2003. The principal scientist was Carol Robinson from the
Plymouth Marine Laboratory.
The aims of the cruise were to sample the Mauritanian upwelling and
southern gyre, thereby allowing data to be collected over a large
range of plankton biomass, activity and community structure.
