Field Activity 1981-034-FA

Identifier 1981-034-FA
Alternate names OC104
Purpose Recover 2 tripods and 4 subsurface moorings. Deploy 2 tripods and 6 subsurface moorings (2 w/ deep instrument package). Set 2 surface marker buoys. Collect surface grab samples at A, Q, and LCA for biology. Deploy and recover experimental water sampling system. Collect surface grab samples around Station K.
Location Lydonia Canyon, Georges Bank, United States, North America, North Atlantic;
