The cruise GOS 2020113 (6 October 2020 Longyearbyen, 27 Tromsø) aboard the Research Vessel G.O. SARS is a mooring service/deployment and process studies of Nansen LEGACY project.

Flash butt welding is a resistance process that offers great advantages due to its high thermal efficiency, simplicity and speed, makes it ideal for mooring chains. Despite advantages, numerous corrosion problems are still being found in practice, both the heat-affected zone weld line. Literature scarce about it, limiting mostly state problem. The majority of studies attribute this preferential...

Local heating rate within the oceanic mixed layer (ML) depends not only on the amount of solar radiation incident on the sea surface, but also on the vertical distribution of the irradiance in the water column. We have evaluated the effect of a phytoplankton bloom on mixed layer depth and temperature at a high latitude site near Iceland. The level 21~ version of the Mellor-Yamada (1982) turbule...

The variability in the vertical position of a sewage plume, far from its point of discharge, is described and explained by the forcing from an internal tide. The sewage plume, discharged from the Sand Island treatment plant in the coastal waters of Mamala Bay, Oahu, Hawaii, was mapped using ship-board towyo observations collected during September 25 }October 1, 1994. Horizontal currents and tem...

The performance of a network of five CODAR (Coastal Ocean Dynamics Application Radar) high frequency (HF) radars is described based on comparisons with an array of nine moorings in the Santa Barbara Channel and Santa Maria Basin deployed between June 1997 and November 1999. Eight of the moorings carried vector measuring current meters (VMCM’s), the ninth an upward-looking acoustic Doppler curre...
