Summary of Field Work: |
Characterization of virus-host interactions and link to environmental scale processes from molecular data
We will collect water column samples across a 96-hour high resolution (every 4 hours) time course to isolate nucleic acids for characterization. In parallel we will complete on-deck experiments to estimate virus production rate, bacterial production and primary production rates. Real time measurements of pigments and nutrients will be made in the laboratory. |
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We will need a CTD/Rosette system for sampling multiple depths up to 500 m. We will require ADCP as well as access to ships meteorological logs. We will require sufficient deck space to set up flow through deck incubators (and access to a surface water supply to feed these). We will require wet lab space for filtration as well as sample processing (nutrients and chlorophylls). |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
We request two total cruise efforts - one in fall 2019 and one in spring 2020. |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Our goal is to capture the spring bloom and late summer stratified or early fall communities as they will be different. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
We will need assistance deploying the CTD/Rosette system. As work will be ongoing through the night we assume we will need at least 2 technicians. This will need to be discussed with the ship. Science party estimate is minimum staffing. |
