IIOE-2 Cruise No.EP3-2, 09 November, 2016 - 17 December, 2016, Chennai, India - Chennai , India. ORV - Sagar Kanya Cruise Report, Cruise No. SK - 335 (09th November – 17th December, 2016).

This cruise will be dedicated to the recovery of three and deployment of two deep ocean RAMA moorings, and the recovery of five deep ocean subsurface (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) ADCP moorings. The moorings are a part of the Research Moored Array for African-Asian-Australian Monsoon Analysis and Prediction (RAMA). This array is under development as part of a multi-national effort to provide data essential for monitoring, understanding, and predicting basin scale ocean-atmosphere variability such as the Asian monsoon, the Indian Ocean Dipole, and the Madden-Julian Oscillation. (Conductivity, Temperature and Depth) CTD operations were conducted after every RAMA and ADCP Mooring buoy deployment/retrieval locations.
