Summary of Field Work: |
Requested cruise duration is 32-35 days in the Costa Rica Dome, eastern equatorial Pacific coast (onloading/offloading in Puntarenas or equivalent). We will conduct experimental studies of plankton dynamics and biogeochemistry following drifters (Lagrangian design; 5-6 individual experiments, each lasting ~4 days). Questions addressed are specific to the period of strong wind driven circulation after june spin-up (most desirable period for cruise dates is July-August, 2010). |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Large ocean-going class vessel - REVELLE/MELVILLE or equivalent (~32 scientists), good station keeping for drifter deployment & recovery in strong winds, high seas
CTD & 24-bottle rosette - T, S, O2, PAR sensor, fluorometer, transmisometer
MOCNESS system with 150-µm mesh nets (& spares); CTD and fluorometer, back-up controller boards
MOCNESS technical support |
