Alternate Title: ORV SAGAR KANYA Cruise No SK-327

Brief Description (Abstract):

The Second International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE-2) is a major global scientific program which will engage the international scientific community in collaborative oceanographic and atmospheric research from coastal environments to the deep sea over the period 2015-2020, revealing new information on the Indian Ocean (i.e. its currents, its influence upon the climate, its marine ecosystems) which is fundamental for future sustainable development and expansion of the Indian Ocean's blue economy. A large number of scientists from research institutions from around the Indian Ocean and beyond are planning their involvement in IIOE-2 in accordance with the overarching six scientific themes of the program. Already some large collaborative research projects are under development, and it is anticipated that by the time these projects are underway, many more will be in planning or about to commence as the scope and global engagement in IIOE-2 grows. IIOE-2 Cruise No.3 is dedicated to the recovery and deployment of RAMA Buoys & NIOT Omni & Tsunami Buoys in the Indian Ocean. Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) casts were made up to 1000 meters depth at all the RAMA Buoy and NIOT Buoy locations and also water samples were collected at various depths and validated the conductivity value with Autosal.

Status: Completed
