Summary of Field Work: |
We will undertake trace metal clean water column sampling at the BATS site, using trace-metal CTD rosette and McLane pumps, for shipboard sample processing. We propose that this work will be undertaken together with five of the regular BATS program cruises, by adding one day to each of these cruises in order to accommodate our sampling work. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
The number of investigators and equipment required would be suitable to combine with the BATS program cruises that are typically carried out on R/V Atlantic Explorer, Bermuda to Bermuda. We need to be able to deploy trace metal clean CTD-rosette and McLane pumps (5 depths), and to process samples in shipboard clean laboratory van. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
We have discussed including our work in the BATS cruises (with one day added) with BATS PI Rod Johnson, who is a co-PI on this proposal. |

Ship/Facility: |
Atlantic Explorer
|
|
Optimum Start Date:
|
2/15/2019 |
Dates to Avoid: |
Sampling at BATS site is best accomplished in conjunction with regular BATS program cruises, as discussed with BATS PI. We propose to add one day to four of the regular BATS cruises (ideally in March, May, July and November 2019) to accommodate our sampling needs. |

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year) |
Yes |
Interval: |
2-3 months |
# of Cruises: |
4 |
|
|
Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
Research focuses on seasonal-scale changes in iron distribution, so cruises nominally chosen to coincide with BATS cruises in Feb-Mar (late winter), Apr-May (spring), Jul-Aug (summer), and Oct-Nov (fall). |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
We have chosen to piggy-back our sampling on BATS cruises, in order to benefit from core and ancillary BATS program data, and use same ship (either RV Atlantic Explorer or RV Endeavor). |
