-
Russian ship will call at Falkland Islands and timings have been started
from that point
-
Each ship steams transects between civil dawn and civil dusk apart from
a 2 hour period around local midday when CTD and net sampling take place
-
Speed on transects is 10.5 knots and between transects is 12 knots
-
The UK, USA, Japanese and Russian ships will calibrate at Stromness Harbour
(South Georgia) prior to the start of the survey
-
The UK, USA and Japanese ships will calibrate at King George Island (South
Shetlands) after the end of the survey. The Russian ship will calibrate
at Stromness Harbour (South Georgia) after the end of the survey.
-
The UK ship undertakes two stations (MEB19 & MEB22) prior to
