Summary of Field Work: |
Two cruises are requested. The first field experiment will be conducted in the March-April time frame of year one of the grant to capture the Spring productivity burst observed early in the season. A second cruise will be conducted during August of the second year to obtain requisite data from conditions that reflect lower surface productivity of summer months. The R/V Hugh R. Sharp is requested and each cruise will consist of nine ship days, during which five stations will be sampled along the chlorophyll a gradient between 36 deg N 76 deg W and 34 deg N 71 deg W. |

Summary of Facility Requirements: |
CTD, Nisking Bottles, Decktop flow through incubators, -20 and -80 freezers. |

Optimum Start Date:

Dates to Avoid: |
We hope to conduct a field sampling campaign across a transect starting in the North Atlantic Bight region, which will extend across Gulf stream influenced waters into the open North Atlantic along the natural gradient of productivity that occurs between coastal regions and the Sargasso sea. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
Two cruises are requested. We hope to conduct our first during August of the first year of the grant to obtain requisite data from conditions that reflect lower surface productivity of summer months. As second cruise is requested for the March-April time frame of year two of the grant to capture the Spring productivity burst observed early in the season. |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Given the planned cruise track, we think that a Regional Class vessel is the best fit for the mission. The Hugh R. Sharp is also based out of Delaware and would have minimal transit time to Norfolk, where we plan to load and unload. Five stations will be sampled along the chlorophyll a gradient between 36°N 76°W and 34°N 71°W. In addition, we will investigate the difference between daytime (8 am) and nighttime (8 pm). Surface (2m) and deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) samples will be assayed at each station. |

Explain Instrumentation or Capability
requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
Our main requirements are to collect water using Nisking bottles attached to Rosetta sampler with CTD. We will also need deck-top flow through incubators for bottle incubation.
