Project Title:	ARGO MERCHANT Oil Spill
Cruise Funding Source:	
Contract:	
Type of Activity:	Sampling
Mooring work
Objectives:	This WHITEFOOT cruise was planned in response to the ARGO
MERCHANT oil spill. Objectives were to deploy 1 current meter mooring
(#123) and 1 tripod (#121) to determine subsurface flow pattern over
Nantucket Shoals to predict and hindcast oil spill trajectories and
monitor bottom conditions, particularly to observe any oil sinking to
the bottom. To obtain bottom grab samples at several shallow locations
to determine if any oil was reaching the bottom.
