Dates To Avoid: |
We need to avoid conflict with the first ANACONDAS cruise (P. Yager, lead PI) tentatively scheduled for 21 May - 21 June 2010. We'll need time to turn around our cruise gear for the Gulf cruise. |

| Repeating Cruise Comments: |
|
| Justification/Comments: |
We want to sample the Gulf of Mexico during the summer, when large populations of N2-fixing organisms are known to be present and the Mississippi plume tends to extend the furthest offshore. We request the Seward Johnson b/c we have extensive experience on the RVSJ and it is well suited for our work. |

| Instrumentation Comments: |
We will carry out stable isotope (15N, 13C) tracer experiments. We will need a meter mocness for zooplankton sampling. If hold space isn't available for our shipping crates and other gear, we'll need a storage van on deck. T. Villareal's group plans to sample Trichodesmium and large diatoms using SCUBA. |
