Cruise Plan for LAUREL 2.

Abstract

The April 1968 Buoy Project cruise will include both scientific and engineering work. All work will be done at Site D1 (39 deg 10 min N., 70 deg 00 min W.). A long-tem mooring will be set using a conical surface float and an all-synthetic mooring line. This mooring is a prototype of a scientific mooring to be used only at Site D1. A bottom mooring using the syntactic foam float will be set for a short-term experiment. The purpose is to measure near-bottom currents. A long-term surface mooring will be set as an engineering test of new ACCO 3 X 19 swaged aluminized wire.
