South Rockall Trough Sub-surface Mooring Deployment from April 2024 - May 2025

Deployment of a sub-surface mooring at South Rockall (53° 0.912' N, -16° 21.5661' W) from the RV Celtic Explorer survey CE24006 on 24/04/2024. Recovered on 12/05/2025 by the CE Celtic Explorer survey CE25007. The purpose of this activity is to collect data to help understand the variability in the water column not visible at the surface and provide context to CTD profile data collected in the South Rockall Trough. These data are vital in understanding the likely impact of future ocean climate scenarios on key marine sectors as well as understanding possible impacts on ecosystem in the North East Atlantic Ocean.
