Summary of Field Work: |
Characterization of how planktonic food webs change through space and time in response to changes in the physical environment, and how those changes impact ecosystem productivity, particularly of higher trophic levels.
This work will consist of cross-shelf transects between Woods Hole, MA and the OOI Pioneer Array location at the Northeast US shelf break. Station work with vertical profiles will be combined with continuous sampling underway and (on some cruises) deckboard incubation experiments.
Two 5-day cruises annually should be scheduled approximately 6 months apart, and out of phase with OOI Pioneer Array mooring turn-around cruises.
(Our goal is 4 seasonal transects, two in conjunction with OOI requests and two requested here). |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We will need a CTD/rosette, ADCP, radioisotope van, and deck space for incubators with flowing seawater. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
Cruises should be approximately 6 months apart and out of phase with OOI Pioneer Array mooring turn-around cruises (which we have proposed to join as part of this project).
Our goal is a cruise each quarter of the year, two in conjunction with OOI and two requested here. For example: Jan - this request; Apr - OOI/Pioneer; Jul - this request; Oct - OOI/Pioneer.
Each of the two cruises are expected to require 5 science days, 1 MOB day and 1 transit day. |
