Field Activity 1975-031-FA

Identifier 1975-031-FA
Purpose Replace instruments on moorings GBK2 and GBK3 and inspect mooring hardware.
Location Georges Bank, United States, North America, North Atlantic,
Summary Replaced VACM (102) on GBK2; 1/2 in. chain showed no wear since deployment in September from USCGC HORNBEAM. Attempted to recover mooring GBK3 at the same site, but high swells strained hauling equipment so recovery attempt was aborted. Mooring was redeployed at its original position (40d51minN, 67d25minW).
