Participation by U. S. personnel on Cruise 39, Leg IV (June 17 - July 17, 1989) of the Marine Hydrophysical Institute's
research vessel Akademik Vernadsky provided valuable information, documented in the present report for planning future cooperative
projects with Soviet oceanographers. Detailed descriptions are given of the ship, its scientific laboratories, computers and onboard
instrumentation. Planning and operating procedures are described and examples are given of daily work plans, seminars,
menus and social activities. Personal accounts by the U. S. participants are also included. Many of the shipboard activities were
recorded on VHS video cassettes.
The oceanographic data collected in the Gulf Stream survey region during Leg IV are documented in the report. Copies of
data sets were provided to the U. S. participants in exchange for U. S. data from the region during the survey period.
