OBJECTIVES AND BRIEF NARRATIVE OF CRUISE
This is the second (winter) of four seasonal monitoring cruises of MEDPOL Project.

The ship departed on 9 december 2008 12:00Z.
Dallaporta arrived, in Zelenika on 13 16.00Z, where the foreign staff went on board. Due to bad weather, the ship spent 2 days in a cove shelter at Lastovo island and one day at Mljet island.
From Montenegro: Kljajic, Jovicic, Radomir, Kojovic, Markovic and Pestoric.
Then the ship sailed from the mouth of Boka Kotorska to Kotor making 8 CTD casts (MEDPOL) and 2 more CTD casts (ADRICOSM) at two pits in order to check oxygen values. The whole work took 8 hours.
Water samples for Oxygen Winkler analisys were made on board.
The italian scientific crew was: Campanelli, Caccamo and Grilli from ISMAR-Ancona.
The foreign staff went off board in Zelenika during the nigth of the 13, the italian staff in Kotor during the morning of the 14 to get the ferry Bar-Bari.

(IF APPLICABLE) if the cruise is designated as part of a larger scale cooperative projct (or expedition), then enter the name of the project and of organisation responsible for co-ordinanting the project.

Enter the name and address of the Principal Investigators responsible for the data collected on the cruise and who may be contacted for further information about the data.
The letter assigned below against each PI is used on next tables, under the column heading 'PI', to identify the data sets for which he/she is responsible.

This section should be used for reporting mooring, bottom mounted gear and drifting systems (both surface and deep) deployed and/or recovered during the cruise.
Separate entries should be made for each location (only deployement positions need be given for drifting systems). This section may also be used to report data collected at fixed locations which are returned to routinely in order to construct 'long time series'.
MOORINGS, BOTTOM MOUNTED GEAR AND DRIFTING SYSTEMS

PI	Latitude	Longitude	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
-	-	-	-	----

Separate entries should be made for each distinct amd coherent set of measurements of samples. Different modes of data collection (e.g. vertical profiles as opposed to underway measurement) should be clearly distinguished,as shouldmeasurements/sampling techniques that imply distinctly different accuracy's or spatial/temporalresolution. Thus, for example, separate entries would be created for i) XBT drops, ii) water bottle stations, iii) CTD casts, iv) towed CTD, v) towed undulating CTD profiler, vi) surface water intake measurements, etc.
Each data set entry should start on a new line - it's description may extend over several lines if necessary.
