Summary: | Two field experiments have been carried out in connection with the tomography experiment in the Fram Strait. In the first Cruise, during 14-18 August 2008, the acoustic tomography system was successfully deployed from RV Håkon Mosby. In addition we deployed 7 transponders, a McLane profiling CTD mooring near the tomographic source mooring, and 9 CTD stations were taken between the source and the receiver mooring. During the second cruise 19-26 September 2008 using the KV Svalbard it was confirmed that the tomography system is working, 20 acoustic listening stations were obtained, 16 XBTs were obtained along the acoustic track, AWIs sea glider was recovered, UPMC Moored Ocean Profiler (MOP) mooring and AWI winch mooring were recovered, and finally 3 ice stations were visited. The two cruises were successfully carried out with the exception that we were not able to download the acoustic data using acoustic modems. NERSC Technical Report no. 298.
