Summary of Field Work: |
Two cruises to BATS in year 1, two cruises to the subarctic North Atlantic in year 2. One cruise in spring, one in late summer for each location. Each cruise about 5 work days. Hydrographic sampling mainly |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Water characteristic profiling with CTD package, water collection using Go-FLo or Niskin samplers, running seawater incubators, -80 freezer space. Underway sampling for flow cytometry. |

Optimum Start Date:

Dates to Avoid: |
looking for spring bloom in the N Atlantic, so April - May is optimal. Later means farther north, earlier farther south |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
This is the spring cruise in a plan that involves sampling in spring and late summer at the same site in the same year. We missed the spring cruise in 2013, but the late summer cruise is now scheduled for Aug-Sep 2013. So we'll want to go to the same place in the spring of 2014 that we visited in Aug 2013. |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Endeavor is the right size and the right ocean for this project. We wanted to embark from Iceland to save transit time for the personnel, but if we need to do another transect from the East Coast of the US, we can do that in spring 2014, as we are planning for summer 2013. |
