Salinity, Irminger Basin (LAT 59° 34.25 LON 38° 34.21)

A series of 38 watercolour paintings. Each painting attempts to visualise a salinity data profile captured from one of 38 locations visited on the UK OSNAP mooring refurbishment programme on RRS Discovery (2016). The series of paintings map an impression of ocean currents in the area at that time. Data was captured along a CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) section across the Irminger Basin, from the Greenland coast to the mid-Atlantic Ridge. Watercolours are made with seawater collected from depths up to 3000 metres below the vessel.
