SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES

1. To estimate the volume transport (and its time variability) of the EAC along 
   the east Australian coast and in the Tasman Front using CTD, ADCP and current 
   meter moorings.

2. To determine the large-scale general circulation of the Tasman Sea using 
   patterns of tracers (temperature, salinity, oxygen and nutrients) and of 
   density to estimate geostrophic circulation.

3. To determine temporal changes in surface pressure gradient between two 
   points on the Lord Howe Rise, one at 28S and the other at 38S using two 
   independent methods (steric height estimate and GEOSAT altimetry).

CRUISE NARRATIVE

The completed cruise tracks for FR10-11/89 are shown in the attached figure.

The ship left Hobart two hours late after the last of the mooring equipment was 
loaded with the recently repaired Hiab crane. We did a shallow CTD station in 
Storm Bay for Brian Griffiths then proceeded to the first CTD station on the 
western end of the 43S section. CTD stations progressed normally except for a 
degree of spiky signal loss on one cast which required the wire to be re-
spliced. The weather was very kind to us - sunny skies.

We made good progress on the CTD section, which we finished by midnight, August 
22. After that it was the start of a long steam northwest to the first mooring 
site.

On August 24 we deployed a dynamic height mooring. The expected depth of 1200 
metres was not found so we spent an extra hour in the region until we found a 
maximum of 1020 m of water. XBTs were dropped every two hours as we steamed 
north towards Cape Reinga. From there we headed north along 172.5E at the start 
of another CTD section. The weather continued to be kind to us and we started 
the 28S section, heading west, on August 27.

August 30 brought a strong westerly which made CTD marginal for a time, but we 
managed to continue working. Rain squalls were accompanied by 50kt gusts. The 
speed between stations slowed down considerably, to about 5 knots at times. We 
continued CTDs until the evening of August 31, then deployed the second dynamic 
height mooring. We had trouble finding less than 1500 m water depth, and finally 
shackled every spare piece of wire together to stretch the mooring to suit the 
deeper water. The design was for 1200 m. By September 2 the weather returned to 
excellent conditions and we are made good progress with the CTDs finishing all 
the deep stations to Stradbroke Seamount before heading inshore to start the 
moorings on September 4.

Mooring operations went smoothly except for one at 500 m. A longliner had set 
his drifting lines at our planned site, so we were obliged to wait a couple of 
hours until the area was clear. On Tuesday, September 5, we steamed for 
Brisbane, arriving at 0830 the next day.

The first two days of FR11/89 were taken completing the last 8 CTD stations from 
FR10/89 and deploying the one remaining mooring (all at about 29S offshore from 
Evans Head). We then steamed south to the start of the 34S section. Before 
station 205, we diverted to Sydney to put ashore a sick crewman.

By the time we had completed station 205, quite a bit of time had been lost 
(completing the final stations from the previous cruise, diverting to Sydney and 
because of bad weather). To make up for lost time, we re-planned the remainder 
of the cruise. We managed to save time by cutting comers at the eastern and 
western ends of the 38S section but still required to extend the cruise by one 
day. These changes will not have a major impact on the analysis of the cruise 
data.

For most of the remainder of the cruise we had good weather and this allowed us 
to complete the 34S section and the revised 38S section. During the latter 
stages of the 38S section we completed a test CTD station for the back-up 
underwater unit (No. 4). The last station was completed off Cape Barren at about 
1100 on Tuesday, September 26.

We then steamed to Launceston.


EQUIPMENT REPORT

A detailed electronics and computing report are attached. In summary, all of the 
electronics and computing equipment appears to have worked very well although 
some minor problems were experienced.

At the end of FR10/89, the PDR trace became very noisy. This problem continued 
on FR11/89 although the trace became cleaner at the end of the cruise. It is 
suspected to be caused by some additional turbulence around the transducer.

The thermosalinograph thermistor was damaged during replacement of the 
thermosalinograph pump prior to the start of FR11/89 and as a result only sea 
surface salinity (and not temperature) were recorded.

As advised prior to the cruise, GPS data became inaccurate on September 21. The 
GPS gave anomalous positions and velocities. This appeared to create problems 
with the ADCP which crashed twice. To overcome the problem, GPS was disabled.

No problems were experienced with the CTD or XBT systems. There was some doubt 
about at least one of the CTD station salinities. This may be a biological 
fouling problem and should be resolved during calibration of the CTD data.

Minor problems were experienced with the new 24 bottle rosette. On a couple of 
stations the bottom bottle was fired but the dial did not move - the bottle 
appears to have been triggered. On a couple of other stations the bottom two 
bottles appeared to have been closed simultaneously at the bottom of the cast. 
There are some corrosion problems with the new rosette and frame.

The rosette frame needs some type of restraining cradle on the floor of the wet 
lab as in moderate weather problems were experienced with the rosette sliding.

On a number of stations it was not possible to get to the bottom because of 
problems with the spooling. This needs attention to allow stations to the 
bottom.

The ADCP worked very well. An alignment test indicated the misalignment was 
about -0.5' and that the scale factor was about 1.005.

The most serious problem experienced during the cruise was the variability of 
the deep nutrient data. On FR10/89 it was noted that for some casts the nutrient 
data gave a smooth profile whilst on other curves they showed a noisy profile. 
Subsequently (the last half of FR10/89 and all of FR11/89) all nutrient samples 
were filtered. This did not completely remove the problem. Another possible 
cause is that some of the bottles were leaking intermittently. However, bottle 
tests showed only a couple of leaking bottles. A third possibility is that the 
tubes for the nutrient samples were overfilled. Final resolution of this problem 
will require further analysis in Hobart.


RESULTS

A total of 85 CTD stations were completed during FR10/89 and 78 during FR11/89 -
almost all to within 50 m of the bottom. A total of 169 XBTs were dropped (108 
on FR 10/89 and 61 on FR11/89). The ADCP operated continuously and appeared to 
give excellent results.

Some of the uncalibrated CTD data as well as the nutrient and ADCP data was 
plotted during the cruise. At 28S, the CTD/ADCP section indicated a strong 
southward flow of the East Australian Current (EAC). Some of this flow appeared 
to return northward further offshore. An eddy or meander of the EAC was present 
on the 34S section. The eddy was still clearly visible at a depth of 2500 m.

On the 43S section there was some indication of a deep western boundary 
current. The signature of the different deep basins (the Tasman Sea, the New 
Caledonia Basin and the Fiji Basin) is clearly evident in the deep Q/S (and 
Q/02) data. The deep salinities on the 43S section were similar to those in the 
SCORPIO data. The anomalously high salinity that was present (at depths of 3000 
m) at the western end of the 28S SCORPIO section was not present.

The Antarctic Intermediate Water had a greater variability (and indicated 
interleaving of different salinity water) than is present in the SCORPIO data. 
At 28S, the Antarctic Intermediate Water was fresher than found in the SCORPIO 
expedition.

The data set collected is probably the most complete data set collected on the 
circulation of the Tasman Sea. Most of the data appears to be of high quality 
(with some doubt about some of the deep nutrient data). The data should allow 
significant progress towards meeting the scientific objectives of the program.


CTD MEASUREMENTS

The CTD used throughout this RV Franklin cruise Fr10/89 was CSIRO CTD No. 2 (A 
Neil Brown Instrument Systems MkIII B profiler, Serial Number: 01-3006-1013.)  
The Sensors on the profiler where :

Sensor            Manufacturer          Resolution  Accuracy
----------------  --------------------  ----------  ----------
Temperature:      Rosemount PRT         0.0005C    0.005C
Conductivity:     EG&G NBIS             0.001mmho   0.005mmho
Pressure          Paine Instruments     0.1 dbar    6.5 dbar
Dissolved Oxygen  Beckman Polarographic    


The fast response thermistor had been removed prior to this cruise, in fact the 
thermistor had not been used on this instrument in the field.

CTD TEMPERATURES ARE CALIBRATED against the triple points of water (0.010C) and 
phenoxybenzene (~27C) using platinum resistance thermometers as transfer 
standards.  The lab which carries out this calibration (The CSIRO Division of 
Oceanography Calibration Facility) is accredited by NATA, Australia's National 
Association of Testing Authorities, to calibrate CTDs to 0.003C at the water 
triple point and 0.004C at the phenoxybenzene point.  Both of these 
uncertainties are at the 99% level.  Calibration is carried out as often as 
practicable given the Franklin's itinerary.  


Pre cruise Temperature Calibration showed the following results:

         Date      Correction  CTD Reading  Temperature (T-68)
         --------  ----------  -----------  ------------------
         22/6/89    0.002C     0.010C      0.012C
         22/6/89    0.002       0.010        0.012
         28/6/89   -0.001      26.870       26.869
         28/6/89   -0.001      26.870       26.869

         The 99% uncertainty in the correction is  0.005C.


Post Cruise Temp Calibration showed the following results:

     Date      Correction  Temperature (T-68)  99% confidence interval
     --------  ----------  ------------------  -----------------------
     20/02/90  0.002C      0.009C            0.0036C
     16/02/90  0.000       26.868              0.0042
         
       These results indicate only a 0.001C shift in temperature at
                     26.868C and no shift at 0C.


The CTD PRESSURE WAS CALIBRATED against a deadweight tester in the "down cast" 
direction only.  This laboratory calibration and the "on-deck" pressure prior to 
deployment was used to determine an offset which could be applied to all 
stations as a whole.  For this cruise an offset of +15.0 dbars was applied.

SALINITY CALIBRATION are based on in situ bottle data.  Laboratory checks are 
only maintained to ensure the sensor is operating correctly.  Using 2277 sample 
bottles out of a total of 2563, the difference between the CTD salinities and 
the water samples showed a standard deviation of 0.0029, for the whole water 
column.

DISSOLVED OXYGEN CALIBRATION is carried out using a method very similar to that 
described in Owens and Millard Jr. (1985).  This method is to fit the downcast 
profile of dissolved oxygen to the sample bottles collected during the upcast.  
The difference between the CTD downcast oxygens and the sample bottle oxygens 
show a standard deviation of 3.5189 mmol/L (equivalent to 0.078 ml/l) for the 
whole water column.


CTD DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING.

A PDP 11/73 computer with a 150Mb hard disk was used as the primary data logging 
device.  Data is logged directly to hard disk, whilst simultaneously recorded on 
audio tape.  Logging is commenced before the CTD profiler is deployed and 
downcast is normally logged as a single file.  Positions and times are logged 
automatically.  Upcasts are not recorded wholly, only 10-15 second bursts of 
data are recorded in conjunction with each Rosette sample firing for use in 
processing for comparison with Salinity and Temperature calibration.  Following 
completion of pre-processing of uncalibrated averaged files which are networked 
to a VAX 11/750 for use on-board during the cruise and the raw data and pre-
processed files are written to 9 track tape.  The data is later transferred from 
tape to Exabyte cartridge using the VAX/VMS Backup utility.  These cartridges 
contain all the raw data collected during a cruise and are permanently archived.


POST-CRUISE PROCESSING FOLLOWS THE FOLLOWING SCHEME: 

o  There is an initial 'clean up' stage were station data is checked, unwanted 
   casts are removed, etc.
o  A set of uncalibrated 2dB average files are produced, as well as summaries of 
   the data for each sample burst.  At this stage temperature and pressure 
   calibrations are put in.
o  Bad data (e.g. where something has got stuck in the conductivity cell) is 
   removed.
o  The sample data is merged with the hydrology data, and some samples are 
   flagged as being 'unsuitable for calibration' (e.g. due to large gradients). 
   An iterative process then follows, where outliers are progressively removed 
   and a calibration constant (a conductivity ratio) is determined for each 
   station.
o  Once this has been done, calibrated 2dB average files are produced.  A simple 
   recursive filter is used to 'slow down' the faster sensors (pressure and 
   conductivity) to the slowest sensor (temperature - the response time of the 
   platinum resistance thermometer is ~.175 seconds).  Values are checked for 
   implausible gradients, and any ascending parts of the trace are ignored (i.e. 
   any values for which the pressure is less than the maximum pressure for this 
   cast so far are ignored).  At the same time 2dB averages of oxygen current 
   and oxygen temperature are calculated.
o  The calibrated 2db averages are plotted, and the plots examined.  In 
   addition, T/S curves of groups are plotted and checked for agreement of the 
   deep T/S values.  The traces are also examined for density inversions, and 
   sections removed if this seems appropriate. 


SALINITY MEASUREMENTS

The water samples salinities where measured with a YeoKal Model 601MkIII 
Inductive Salinometer that was standardized daily with IAPSO Standard Sea Water 
(SSW) Batch P106 (Date: 8 June 1987, Cond Ratio: 0.99989).

The accuracy of the salinometer claimed by the manufacturer is 0.003 psu. (Yeo-
Kal Electronics Pty Ltd, Brookvale, NSW, 2100, Australia)


OXYGEN MEASUREMENTS

The method used is a modified Winkler titration.  All oxygen values (bottle and 
CTD) were converted from mmol/l to mmol/kg using the salinity and in-situ 
temperature at the time the Niskin bottle was closed.  This is justified as our 
Oxygen samples are always drawn first, and will have, at most, increased in 
temperature by a few degrees by the time they are sampled and fixed.


NUTRIENT ANALYSES

Samples are collected in 15ml polypropylene tubes and frozen for up to one week 
before analysis using a Technicon AA2 system.  They are allowed to thaw at room 
temperature.

Nitrate determination is based on the reduction of nitrate in the sample to 
nitrite using a granulated cadmium reductor column and imidazole buffer.  
Nitrite then reacts with sulphanilimide to form a diazonium ion which reacts 
with napthylethylene dihydrochloride to form a coloured azo dye which is 
measured at 550nm.  Only 'nitrate plus nitrite' is reported for this cruise.

Dissolved phosphate is determined by reaction with acid molybdate in the 
presence of antimony ion.  Phosphomolybdate is then reduced by ascorbic acid at 
37C and the blue complex measured at 880nm.

Reactive silicate is combined with acid molybdate and the complex reduced by 
methylaminophenol.  Interference by phosphate is eliminated by the addition of 
oxalic acid which reacts with excess molybdate and the blue colour is measured 
at 820nm.

Nutrients were converted from mmol/l to mmol/kg using the nominal temperature of 
the chemistry lab on RV Franklin (25C)

EQUIPMENT STATUS
(P. Adams-technician)
1989.AUG.05


ADCP 
The ships heading read 359.9 continuously, the leds remained unaltered. The 
fault was traced to an incorrectly placed connector.

CTD
The dissolved oxygen sensor failed to operate from the start of the cruise. A 
new sensor was fitted along with a new receptacle, there are no more serviceable 
02 sensors on board, the old receptacle needs repairing. The CTD wire was re-
terminated 3 times during the cruise the loss of cable being approx. 10 meters.

ROSETTE SAMPLER 
The rosette u/w unit was removed from its frame after corrosion appeared on the 
upper and lower plates. On reassembly the rosette was isolated from the frame in 
as many places as possible, and extra sacrifical anodes were attached.

THERMOSALINOGRAPH 
The TGS pump burnt out and the salt water pump from the wet lab was used in its 
place. The modified plumbing did not pass through the temp sensor, sea surface 
temp was available only through the conductivity cell temp probe.

SIMRAD EK400 
The EK400 developed a noise problem towards the end of the cruise. The system 
worked ok at low speeds however at speeds above 3 knots the transducer large 
amounts of noise. The problem had not been resolved at the end of the cruise.

XBT
The XBT system worked well using the hand launcher with the extension on it. The 
other hand launcher was not used on this cruise, but had previously given 
erratic temperatures near the surface.

GENERAL
A SECOND cable was installed between the library and the decserver, it provides 
a fourth general purpose input into the network. (to be used with the mac) The 
cable information sheet book was checked, updated and placed onto a 123 
spreadsheet, then formatted using Word.



ELECTRONICS REPORT FOR FR11/89

CTD #2 AND ROSETTE SAMPLER
Excessive corrosion of the 24 bottle rosette sampler was evident from the 
previous cruise, 6 additional sacrificial anodes were attached to the s/steel 
frame, level with the rosette top plate in order to stem the corrosion. As the 
firing pins are very close on this rosette it was found advantageous to leave 
bottle 24 off to avoid miss firing of bottles 1 and 2. The top ring of the 
support frame is distorting the rosette plate and causing one of the bottles 
some times not to close, although the stepper motor did turn. Some modifications 
are required to this frame to make easier access to the rosette sampler top 
plate assembly, to isolate it from the s/steel frame and to make room for a 
large, sacrificial anode. Modifications to the holding mechanism in the wet lab 
are also required as the larger frame tends to slide in rough weather.  A broken 
Y-cable caused loss of communication during a deep station, thus necessitating 
repeating the station. As the ctd wire is now 2.5 - 3 yrs old, the master 
requested that a piece of it be tested to breaking point by Bullivants, on a 
regular basis.

CTD #4
This ctd was tested to 2000 m. at posn app. 40S, 150E and appeared to be 
performing satisfactorily. D. Vaudrey has data tape which will be calibrated for 
salinity and temperature from Niskin bottles and thermometers.

THERMOSALINOGRAPH
The TSG pump motor failed during the previous cruise and was replaced in 
Brisbane, however during the replacement the main temperature thermistor was 
broken and requires replacement. In the mean time the main temperature is logged 
as -2.05C.

EK400 SOUNDER 
The previous cruise report stated problems with the 12Khz sounder, I did a 
number of tests on it and came to the conclusion that either the transducer was 
loose in its mounting or some external device was causing turbulence, 
proportional to ships speed over the transducer surface. Later talks with ships 
officers revealed that problems were had with the bow thruster during the 
previous cruise and the flush cover was possible warped. This ties in well with 
my diagnosis of the sounder symptoms.

ADCP 
This performed faultless for the duration of the-cruise, and only on two 
occasions did I have to re-boot micro7 to overcome some soft ware problems.

GPS NAVIGATOR 
Although we were advised from AWA prior to the cruise that the GPS constellation 
would be down for the period 20 Sep. - 4 Oct. we were still able to use the GPS 
for all of 20 Sep. and about half the coverage window for 21 Sep., at this time 
I disabled all satellites as there was some evidence of false positions, however 
they were all re-enabled on 23 Sep. and appeared to operating normally. All 
satellites were supposed to be set unhealthy from 20 Sep., but this did not 
eventuate at all.
Computer Equipment 

This is the first cruise in recent times where there were no serious problems 
associated with the computing equipment



COMPUTING REPORT 

FR11/89 was one of the quietest cruises, computer-wise, that I have been 
involved with. Almost without exception, the equipment worked well and there 
were no unexpected problems with the logging software. I feel that the software 
and documentation are now such that we are approaching the point where the 
computer systems can be operated by relatively inexperienced personnel.

There were few blackouts during the cruise and those that did occur had no 
effect on the logging equipment as the UPS is now working.

WORK DONE

o  DELP routine DISPLA was modified so that the display blinks for programs and 
   CPU's that are 'down'.
o  I restored additional VAX system disk files that were lost in the crash 
   during FR7/89. They included 'C' and LSE. (except that LSE is missing 
   [SYSEXE]LSEDIT.EXE and [SYSMGR]LSE$STARTUP.COM.)
o  The batch procedure for processing the VAXed ADCP data was rewritten so that 
   it would be automatically scheduled to run each day.
o  I wrote a program to merge the Sat Nav and GPS fixes and access routines to 
   enable John Church to access this data

David Crooks' Hydrology and MTSPOL manuals were converted to Microsoft Word. A 
number of other manuals, including the Cookbook and the VAX Utilities Manual, 
were updated. (We desperately need the hard disk on the ship's Mac. There was 
insufficient space on a diskette to 'save' the Cookbook after an editing 
session, even when using a very stripped down system.)

OUTSTANDING PROBLEMS

o  The ADCP manual needs more documentation of the meaning of the various error 
   messages and of how to recover from the error. As many of the error 
   conditions as possible should be fixed automatically, rather than relying on 
   the operator intervention. e.g. the display task DSP should be restarted by 
   the system if it finds that it has exited.
o  The console log files for MICRO6 are not being taped. This is because the 
   console files require privileged access but the console device (CO:) has to 
   be unprivileged to prevent problems with the CTD archiving program.
o  The CTD software can have problems with the real-time display when logging is 
   changed from one underwater unit to another and then back to the first. If 
   the same master file is used on both occasions for the first underwater unit, 
   the option program has no way of getting the correct unit number and framing 
   parameters. A copy of an option file from the first session must be saved and 
   then be renamed as the highest version when the first CTD unit is re-
   installed.
o  DLPEVN crashed a number of times. I tried to make an overlaid version that 
   did not have to use the Fortran Cluster Library, but did not succeed because 
   of subtle problems with the overlay structure.
o  The Zeta plotter has been experiencing origin shifts, and it will have to be 
   returned to the agent for servicing. It also requires a new pen carriage.
o  The VAX rebooted unexpectedly on 2 occasions. No error messages were printed 
   and the cause remains a mystery.

            indicate cruise had two legs, see note:  I have edited the sum file 
            bottle file and ctd files to indicate that 09FA1089 cruise had two 
            legs.
          SUM expocode for stations 1-169 was changed from 09FA1089_2 to 
            09FA1089_1. stations 171-325 still have expocode 09FA1089_2.
          BOT added 09FA1089_1 expocode to first header line.
          CTD expocode for stations 1-169 was changed from 09FA1089_2 to 
            09FA1089_1.

          Forbes since all but 8 stations (pr11 only) were done on the 
          09FA1089_1 leg.  09FA1089_2 retained for those 8 stations and sum 
          file updated accordingly.  Doc file updated: cruise dates for
