Summary of Field Work: |
This project will involve collecting sediment cores with the multicorer at 10 sites across the tropical Atlantic Ocean in water depths ranging from 2000 to 5000 m. Coring sites will be identified with CHIRP sub-bottom seismic data. We also plan occasional water column CTD work, particle collection with McLane pumps, and atmospheric sampling on flying bridge. Optimal cruise times are February to May when intense biomass-burning atmospheric plumes are expected across north of the Equator in the tropical Atlantic and also due to tropical cyclone activity in our proposed operations area. sediment IN addition, occasional water column CTD work, particle collection with McLane pumps, and atmospheric sampling on flying bridge. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Site Survey: - CHIRP Sonar, hull-mounted ADCP
Coring Operations: - sediment multicorer MC 800
Additional water column sampling: CTD/Niskin Rosette; wire for McLane pump
Atmospheric sampling; Hi-vol sampler on flying bridge |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
Lab space for core description, sampling and analysis.
Standard core supplies (e.g., core liners, storage tubes, end caps for core liners and storage tubes, core cutters, etc). |
