1. Objectives

Cruise M85, leg 1, is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education 
and Research (BMBF) as part of the cooperative research program ‘North 
Atlantic’. The respective work package 2.1 is shared by the University of 
Bremen (PI: M. Rhein) and the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency 
(BSH, PI: B. Klein) in Hamburg.

Many numerical ocean models suggest a relation between the strength of 
the meridional overturning, the formation of deep water components and 
the strength of the subpolar gyre. Various regions of the subpolar North 
Atlantic are thus considered as key regions, since obtaining 
observational data from these regions is crucial for studying the 
different processes. The following objectives are key questions that are 
to be addressed based on observational data obtained during METEOR cruise 
M85/1:

1) Inference of the interannual variability in the strength of the 
   subpolar gyre from bottom-mounted pressure-recording inverted echo 
   sounders (PIES). These are combined with shipboard measurement (T/S, 
   velocity data), hydrographic profiles from profiling Argo floats, and 
   satellite altimetry data to obtain transport time series.
2) Assessment of the strength of the volume transport and changes in the 
   water mass characteristics in the area of the Deep Western Boundary 
   Current (DWBC) off Flemish Cap as well as in Flemish Pass. Analyses 
   are based on data received from deep-sea moorings deployed in the DWBC 
   as well as shipboard measurements of T/S/O, velocity, and tracers.
3) Analysis of the interannual variability and present pathways of North 
   Atlantic Deep Water and of the North Atlantic Current as they move 
   across the Mid-Atlantic Ridge through the Faraday Fracture Zone.
4) Studying the large-scale changes in the deep water properties 
   following the latitude of 47°N, on sections along the western flank of 
   the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge, as well as along various sections crossing the 
   exits and center of the Labrador.
5) Estimating the formation rate of Labrador Sea Water (LSW), the 
   lightest contribution to North Atlantic Deep Water, for the period 
   2009-2011 from changes in the water mass inventories of anthropogenic 
   tracers such as chlorofluorocarbon (CFC).


2. Narrative of cruise M85/1

The scientific party arrived in Brest and embarked on RV METEOR on June 
23rd, 2011. RV METEOR left Brest on June 24th, 2011 at 09:15 a.m. local 
time. After work related to compensating the magnetic compass was 
finished she was on transit towards the break of the European continental 
shelf. Wind and swell of westerly and southwesterly direction reduced 
ship speed down to 6-8 kn. Transit time was used to finish work on lab 
installations, CTD and water sampler preparations, and on training 
scientific members new to the sea-going business.

Continuous data recording was started on June 25th, 11:00 UTC. Starting 
in the afternoon of June 25th a first hydrographic section spanning the 
West European Basin from the shelf break to 31°08.94'W along 47°-49°N was 
conducted. At distances of around 50nm CTD/O and lowered ADCP casts from 
top to bottom were carried out. Salinity and oxygen samples were taken at 
each profile location for calibrating the oxygen and conductivity sensors 
of the CTD/O package. Two profiling floats of type PROVOR, equipped with 
oxygen sensors, were deployed along this section

Unfortunately, the analytical tracer system of the group from the 
University of Bremen (UniHB) could not be delivered on time to Brest due 
to an average of the cargo ship at sea and subsequent delayed arrival at 
Bremerhaven. Direct measurements and analysis of anthropogenic tracers 
such as chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and sulphurhexafluroide (SF6), 
therefore, could not be carried out during the cruise. Instead, water 
samples for the home- lab analysis of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were 
tapped regularly from all sampler bottles on every station and sealed 
afterwards for storage reasons. These samples will be analyzed at the 
gas-chromatographic laboratory at UniHB after the cruise is finished.

On behalf of our Dutch partners from the University of Groningen C14 
samples were taken and prepared for storage on every second or third 
station. Three stations (#8, #9, #11) during June 27th and June 28th were 
used as calibration stations for SeaCATs and MicroCATs that were to be 
deployed as part of the BSH moorings near Faraday Fracture Zone.

On July 1st RV METEOR arrived at 47°40.25'N, 31°08.94'W, the location of 
the   pressure-recording inverted echo-sounder (PIES) BP-12/3, and data 
collected by the PIES throughout the past year was retrieved via acoustic 
data telemetry. Course was changed towards northwest, thereby following 
the course of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) on its western side. Having 
finished two further CTD-stations RV METEOR arrived at the location of 
PIES BP-13/2 on July 2nd, 01:30 UTC. Telemetric data recording lasted on 
until 03:00 UTC, but was not successful and therefore aborted since an 
important signal, necessary to reassemble the data sent on four different 
frequencies, could not be recorded. Since this location would be occupied 
once again on the way back to 47°N, the PIES was left at its present 
location, and another telemetry attempt was shifted to a later point of 
time.

On July 2nd, 08:00 UTC, RV METEOR arrived at 49°36.39'N, 33°16.84'W, the 
location of mooring FFZ-3, deployed by the BSH group in August 2010 
(METEOR cruise M82/2). The mooring was safely recovered and put into 
water again the same day with the bottom weight deployed at 19:15 UTC. 
The following day, July 3rd, mooring FFZ-2 was visited, recovered, and 
redeployed the same day. The original intention was to proceed with 
exchanging mooring FFZ-1 located further to the north, but worsening 
weather conditions resulted in adjusting the work plan. For this reason 
RV METEOR headed towards 50°N, 33°51'W, the northernmost position of this 
section and the location of the northernmost instrument (BP-15/2) of the 
Bremen PIES array at the MAR. There, she arrived on July 4th, 18:40 UTC, 
the hydrophone was put into the water, and telemetric data recording 
began and was successfully finished at 21:25 UTC. RV METEOR changed 
course again and sailed back towards 47°N basically following the same 
track.

On July 5th RV METEOR arrived at 51°41'N, 35°47'W, the location of PIES 
BP-14/1. This instrument could neither be retrieved back last summer, nor 
was data telemetry successful at that time. Therefore, the instrument was 
considered as lost. Amazingly, this time it properly responded to certain 
commands sent in the framework of one last attempt of telemetry. In the 
end, any valid data could not be received, but releasing the instrument 
seemed to have worked. After searching the instrument for 2 hours and 
detecting it at the sea surface also failed, it was definitely considered 
as lost, and a new instrument was deployed at the same location serving 
to replace the lost one.

While approaching the 47°N-latitude again, CTDO/LADCP casts were 
regularly completed, two floats of type APEX were deployed, and the third 
BSH-mooring (FFZ-1) was successfully recovered and redeployed (July 5th).

On July 7th, PIES BP-13/2 was revisited. Once again, data telemetry was 
not   successful. For this reason the release command was sent to the 
instrument (July 8th, 00:53 UTC), and after its ascend to the sea surface 
the instrument could be safely picked up at 02:40 UTC. Close inspection 
the next day revealed severe water intrusions into the instrument's 
interior, thereby damaging the electronic devices, boards, and batteries. 
Mooring and PIES related work at the MAR was thus finished, and on July 
9th, RV METEOR headed towards west to fill and complete the 47°N section 
with CTDO/LADCP stations. Also, two further APEX floats were deployed 
along 47°N.

On July 11th RV METEOR arrived at 47°11N, 39°11'W, the location of the 
Bremen PIES BP-26/1. This instrument was deployed there last year. Data 
recording via acoustic telemetry failed, however. For this reason the 
PIES was released at 13:00 UTC and could be safely recovered at 14:45 
UTC.

On July 13th RV METEOR arrived at 47°06'N, 43°07'W, the location of the 
Bremen mooring BM-23/2. The mooring was contacted via acoustic ranging of 
the releasers, and the release signal was sent at 07:00 UTC. 
Unfortunately, any signal stemming from the radio transmitters of the top 
buoy could not be received. Therefore, it was not possible to take the 
bearing of the top buoy and locate any mooring elements at the surface. 
Ranging of the releasers lasted on until 10:15 UTC, when any valid 
returns could no longer be received. In the meantime the weather 
conditions had reduced, changing from fine and clear conditions in the 
beginning to rain and fog shortly following. Several locations in the 
vicinity of the assumed mooring location were occupied, and ranging was 
resumed several times without receiving acceptable and reliable distance 
values for the releasers. Foggy weather conditions worsened reducing the 
visibility down to less than 300m. The deckunit and the hydrophone in use 
were exchanged and used in different instrumental combinations to exclude 
any kind of technical malfunction, and signal transmission was increased 
at certain times by using an amplified hydrophone. Ranging of the BM-23/2 
releasers lasted on until 19:00 UTC, when three floatation bodies were 
identified at the surface at a visibility of less than 300m. The 
floatation bodies were picked up together with a pair of releasers and 
pieces of a torn rope. One hook of a releaser was found open. These 
elements turned out to belong to mooring BM-22/2 which was supposed to be 
still in the water about 4nm further west. After the radio receiver was 
set to receive the radio signal of the corresponding top element, indeed 
bearing of the top buoy could be taken. Between 20:20 UTC to 22:50 UTC 
mooring BM-22/2 was entirely recovered, while there was still missing any 
information pointing to the location of mooring BM-23/2. While wind 
speeds started to increase to wind force 7-8, and visibility was still 
down to only a few hundred meters, further time was spent (23:15-05:30 
UTC next morning) to search for the missing mooring. From the drifting 
time and direction of mooring BM-22/2 several positions to the southeast 
of the initial location of BM-23/2 were determined and subsequently 
occupied. At three out of six different positions it was possible to 
range the releasers and to receive a few replies that resulted in 
unreliable distances. At least, this gave evidence that BM-23/2 had 
drifted away from its deployment location since its release towards 
southeast, but it was not possible to determine its actual position. At 
05:30 UTC on July 14th mooring BM-23/2 was considered as lost. Station 
work consisting of CTDO/LADCP stations was resumed again, another APEX 
float was deployed, and the section across the DWBC at 47°N was finished 
in the evening hours the same day. After station 771/53 was finished 
notable problems in the beam performance of one Workhorse LADCP made its 
exchange necessary. The night time was used to conduct vm-ADCP surveys 
across the DWBC. On July 15th RV METEOR arrived at 47°06'N, 43°25'W, the 
location of the third Bremen mooring BM-21/2. The mooring was released at 
09:50 UTC, and again, any radio signal making the top float detectable 
when at the surface was missing. Also dense fog again greatly reduced 
sight down to less than 300m. The releasers, however, could be perfectly 
ranged. At 09:30 UTC the top float was detected, and recovery of BM-21/2 
began and lasted on until 10:35 UTC. At 10:55 UTC RV METEOR set course 
towards west and started a survey with vm-ADCP across Flemish Cap. 
Station work in Flemish Pass began on July 15th, 23:30 UTC, and was 
finished on July 16th after completion of six CTDO/LADCP stations. Most 
of these works were done at conditions of dense fog with reduced 
visibility. The time between departure from the mooring region and re-
arrival was used to check and read out the collected mooring data and 
refurbish all recovered mooring sensors. Mooring work in the DWBC area 
was resumed again on July 17th when three deep-sea moorings were 
subsequently deployed to capture the strength and variability of the deep 
western boundary current and the deep water export. Due to the loss of 
the mooring BM-23/2 certain current meters and T/S sensors were not 
available anymore. Any data gaps could be avoided by adding RCM-7/8 
current meters with temperatures sensors to these moorings. The RCMs were 
generously provided by project partners from the BSH. On July 17th, 21:00 
UTC, all moorings were located again at their intended location, though 
none of the top floats could be observed during their descend to greater 
depths because of fog. In the morning hours of July 18th the last 
remaining PIES, BP-24/1, was visited, and all recorded data could be 
received successfully via acoustic telemetry.

RV METEOR changed the work area, and on July 18th, station work began in 
the region of the DWBC at the northeastern tip of Flemish Cap. At station 
793/68 any disturbance affected the conductivity cell and the oxygen 
sensor, resulting in unreliable values and in part severe differences in 
the shape of the down- and upcast profile. Data processing techniques 
were not successful to retain reliable CTD data for this profile. On July 
19th the section across the boundary current was finished and RV METEOR 
sailed along ~43°30'W towards Greenland. While crossing the northwest 
corner, the two remaining APEX floats were deployed. Multibeam data 
logging was switched off on July 22nd, while RV METEOR was about to enter 
the Danish EEZ. CTDO/LADCP stations were conducted at typical distances 
of 46nm. On the way towards north two PROVOR floats were deployed.

Closest vicinity to Cape Farewell was reached at 59°23.46'N, 43°53.72'W 
on July 23rd.This was one of the rare moments of good sight that allowed 
spotting one of the icebergs being transported with the East Greenland 
Current towards the Labrador Sea. Here, after finishing station work 
course was changed again, and RV METEOR followed a section leading from 
the southern tip of Greenland towards the central axis of the Labrador 
Sea. Station distances slightly increased to almost 50nm.

On July 26th, RV METEOR arrived in the central Labrador Sea to conduct 
the first CTDO/LADCP on the so-called AR7W-line, a repeat hydrographic 
section regularly visited by various research groups since 1990. Here, 
another PROVOR float was put into water. On stations 825/95 and 826/96 
any reliable LADCP data could not be obtained due to a beam problem of 
the master instrument. On its way towards the Greenland side of this 
section a leap-frog-like station pattern was chosen with every second 
station left out on the way towards Greenland. On the way towards the 
Canadian side of AR7W the resulting gaps were afterwards filled with 
stations. This increased the station net along this section and allowed 
to adjust the working program to the daily weather situation which was 
most of the time influenced by foggy conditions.

On July 28th the last PROVOR float was deployed, and RV METEOR arrived on 
the western side of AR7W where she continued this section at station 
distances between 22 nm down to 13 nm. On July 29th the shallowest 
station was conducted at a water depth of ~450m which marked the arrival 
at the western end of AR7W. The remaining station work was shifted to the 
DWBC region further south at about 52°N. RV METEOR left the AR7W line, 
and course was set towards east which later on changed into a 
southeastern course to avoid ice and foggy conditions in the boundary 
current area. On July 31st the final section was begun and finished after 
completing four CTDO/LADCP stations across the DWBC area at ~52°N. 
Station work was finished at 21:50 UTC, and RV METEOR started her transit 
towards St. John's, Newfoundland. Continuous data recording stopped on 
August 1st 17:30 UTC, and RV METEOR finished cruise M85/1 in St. John's 
in the morning hours of August 2nd.

the subpolar North Atlantic.


CTD data

Temperature and salinity are reported on the ITS-90 and PSS-78 
calibration scales, respectively. A Seabird 9-11 plus and a SBE-43 oxygen 
sensor were used during the cruise.

Bottle salinity were measured on a Guildline Autosal 8400 A. The accuracy 
between replicate measurements is about 0.001, absolute precision of CTD 
salinity about 0.003. IAPSO standard seawater of batches P149 and P152 
were used for calibration of the Autosal.

Accuracy: < 1 dbar for pressure, 0.001 °C for temperature, <0.003 for 
salinity, <2.0 µmol/kg for oxygen.

Bottle data

Oxygen data

Dissolved oxygen samples were taken mainly for calibration purposes (6-8 
samples per profile). The oxygen concentration was determined by Winkler 
titration with an accuracy of 0.018 ml/l (from replicate measurements). 
The offset between CTD-O and titrated oxygen is about 0.03 ml/l, the 
overall precision of the CTD-O data is about 1%.

NOTE: I've used the updated ID for Meteor (M3) rather than the old 
(MT). The attached exchange file was created from the SUM and SEA file 
that Kieke submitted.  The CTD files on line in the ZIP appear to be 
correctly formatted and have been calibrated.

Data Type: StaLst/Doc 
Action: Submitted 
Note: 
Regarding our recent GO-SHIPS conversation about Monika's reported 
occupation of AR07W in 2011: 
Today I received the following note and attachments from Reiner 
Steinfeldt. This will be
06MT20110624 with an alias of Meteor 85_1

I didn't bother to import the station file, but this cruise seems to 
be a superset of AR07W as is their normal practice
They don't follow the same data delivery deadlines as the U.S., so it 
will be awhile before we get these results. In addition to the CTD 
numbers they measured bottle values for salt (limited), O2 and CFCs
