Summary of Field Work: |
To participate in a currently funded cruise with Dr. Benjamin Van Mooy in the North Atlantic (OCE1536346; estimated April 2017). This proposal seeks to lay a scientific foundation for understanding the distribution, partitioning, and cycling of biogenic hydrocarbons in the ocean. The hypotheses driving this proposal focus on the abundance and molecular diversity of biogenic hydrocarbons in relation to the cyanobacterial population; the extent to which volatilization to the atmosphere acts as a sink for biogenic hydrocarbons; and the rate at which hydrocarbons are produced and consumed by the microbial communities of producers and consumers.
Dr. Van Mooy's research focuses on the P-dynamics of the surface ocean with a keen interest on cyanobacteria and meshes ideally with our proposed work.
We request an additional three days to Van Mooy's cruise to visit more southernly stations and spend additional time on select stations. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We do not need any additional equipment/facilities than already requested by Dr. Van Mooy. We will be attaching an atmospheric sampler at the bow of the vessel, but will supply and be fully responsible for its operation. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
Again, we request an additional three days to a previously funded cruise to Dr. Benjamin Van Mooy (OCE1536346; estimated April 2017). |

Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
We request an additional three days to a previously funded cruise that meshes ideally with our request (Van Mooy; OCE1536346; estimated April 2017). Van Mooy's research plan on P-dynamics and upper ocean biogeochemistry is an excellent opportunity to help us address the research questions in our proposed work. |

Short Description of Op Area
for use in schedules: |
North Atlantic |
| Description of Op Area: |
The cruise will depart and return to WHOI in three legs. The first leg will lead NE leading to a point off Nova Scotia (43°N,62°W). This leg will allow for the study of high productivity waters of the North Atlantic. The second leg of the cruise will lead due South across the Gulf Stream and its mesoscale eddy field, leading to the Sargasso Sea (30°N, 62°W), well within the waters of the oligotrophic gyre. A third leg of the cruise will pass through the Gulf Stream again, en route to WHOI. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
We will bringing 10 people from our science team, which Dr. Van Mooy has agreed to us if funded. He has not decided on how many he will bring. This will be a fully integrated project and does not warrant to add "different science team". |
