Cruise Objective:   U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank Program - broad-scale survey
                    component.
                    Lead grant NSF: OCE-9631468
                    (see GLOBEC home page:
                    [1]http://globec.whoi.edu/globec.html)
Science Activities: *Conduct GLOBEC Broad Scale survey of Georges Bank,
                    sampling the hydrography, nutrients, zooplankton and
                    ichthyoplankton at a grid of about 40 standard station
                    locations.
                    *Sampling will use the following systems: CTD/rosette,
                    bongo nets, plankton pump, 1 meter MOCNESS and 10 meter
                    MOCNESS, bio-acoustic towed fish ("Green Bomber").
                    *Underway ADCP and met data will also be collected.
Operations Area:    Georges Bank
