Abstract:
To gain information on the physical parameters of deep water in the Northwest Atlantic, CTD measurements were taken during seven dives to the RMS Titanic wreck (front of bow approx. 41.7330181, -49.9460561; 3816 m water depth) and one dive to the Nargeolet-Fanning Ridge (approx. 41.5980514, -49.4386889; 2896 m water depth) during the OceanGate expedition aboard the AHTS Horizon Arctic, 15 June - 25 July 2022. The CTD measurements of the water column down to a maximum water depth of 3853 m were conducted using a Valeport MIDAS SVX2 6000 unit attached to the submersible Titan for the duration of each dive and provided standard data for conductivity, temperature, and pressure. Conductivity and temperature data were used to compute salinity.
