Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:

The EMB cruise 06EZ1116 was carried out in frame of the Baltic Sea monitoring activities of the IOW. The main goal of the cruise is to contribute to the knowledge about the mesoscale dynamics in the western and central Baltic. Along a transect from the Darss Sill to the northern Gotland basin towed CTD and current measurements supply hydrographic measurements with a high spatial resolution. This synoptic data set will provide information about the spatial variability of key hydrographic parameters at the time of thermocline erosion in late autumn. Additionally, the gathered data will be used in frame of the Baltic monitoring program and for validation of the IOW numerical modells. The cruise will also be used for several device tests and mooring maintenance of the GotlandNE long term mooring. The working program of the cruise consisted of the following packages: (1) Measuring of mesoscale hydrographic patterns in the upper layer and the halocline of the Baltic at depth between 0 und 150m with a combined ScanFish/TADCP transect from the Darss Sill to the northern Gotland basin. (2) Maintenance of the long term mooring Gotland NE. (3) CTD transect along the ScanFish transect for covering the deep layers that were not measured by the ScanFish. (4) Test of a new ADCP measuring method, that will allow the contemporary measurement of all main turbulence parameters with a single device.
