A.4	Scientific Programme and Methods

Observations of PR03N (North of 34N of the section PR03) were
carried out on board the R/V Kofu Maru in the Cruise KO9210.  The ship
sailed from Ofunato at 0100 UTC on 3 November 1992.  At 1323 UTC on 4
November, we arrived at the southernmost station along the section
PR03N and started observation. Since the forecast of the approach of
typhoon 9228 and of the passage the low pressure trough, we
discontinued temporarily the PR03N observation after the
observation at the station KO6269 and went to Ofunato to avoid them.

We resume the observation of PR03N at 1434 UTC on 12 November.   

The cruise track and the location of stations are shown in Figure 1. 
The performances of the CTD, the multisampler and other instruments
were good throughout the cruise.  The observation of PR03N was
completed 0345 UTC on 14 November.
