NOTES FROM THE CRUISE AT R/V “BELGICA”. CONTINUATION

“Very raw weather conditions namely wind and waves cause that our cruise is behind the schedule running with a speed maximum 6-7 knots. We already did two additional stations (in total, 3 done) with the same parameters as it was done at the first station.  It looks that sediment sampling will take place in the Mediterranean sea where more calm weather conditions are expected”.
