Summary of Field Work: |
We are conducting a survey of surface and deep ocean DOM along a meridional transect of the western Atlantic Ocean. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We will need a CTD rosette with 20L Niskin bottles as well as ample laboratory and berth space. |

Optimum Start Date:
|
3/20/2013 |
Dates to Avoid: |
We are trying to assess DOM composition in the deep ocean at a time when bloom events are unlikely. As a result, we would like to conduct this cruise in the spring prior to the initiation of the annual bloom. |

Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops |
We can be flexible on the direction of the cruise if the UNOLS schedule prefers to have us pick up the ship in Brazil and cruise northward. Our only constraint is the timing of phytoplankton blooms along our planned cruise track. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
We have invited colleagues with similar interests to join our cruise to provide necessary biological contextual data. We anticipate inviting 3 other groups with 3-4 berths per group. |

requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
We request the large-volume (20L) Niskin bottles on the CTD rosette provided by the operator. We will be making numerous deep-water casts and require large volume samples.
We also request the CTD with the dual temperature and conductivity sensors (the standard WHOI package listed on the R/V Knorr website).
