The FIGURE-CARING cruise departed from Bermuda on 21st July 2022 towards the Gulf Stream. After a test station, we proceeded to sample two transects:
●North (crossing a cyclonic eddy and the Gulf Stream), 8 stations (8x2000m casts + 6x200m casts)
●South (crossing the Gulf Stream ~1º latitude below), 4 stations (4x1600m casts)
Once the station transects were completed, we proceeded to repeat the North transect performing underway sampling at 6 kn navigation speed. We arrived back to Bermuda on 30th July 2022.
