Science Objectives | |
| We will be using trace metal clean sampling and incubation techniques to investigate iron and phosphorus control of nitrogen fixation in the tropical Atlantic. Our research plan involves both station work to sample mixed layer profiles (~6-8 depths), collect whole water filtered samples using McClain pumps, net tows to obtain Trichodesmium samples. Several sets of deckboard incubations will be running concurrently with the transect sampling. I have uploaded a list of 20 straw-man stations, but we will be looking for Trichodesmium blooms, using both semi-daily net tows and based on ocean color imagery to be periodically sent to the chief scientist. Therefore, stations will necessarily be a bit opportunistic, and may require minor deviations from the cruise track (within reason, of course). | |

Science Activities | |
| Station sampling will include regular CTD rosette profiles down to ~200m, deployment of a trace metal clean rosette system (coPI Saito), surface seawater trace metal clean pumping system (Saito), McClain pumps (Saito), possibly deployment of an in situ FiRE flurometer (Hutchins), and frequent net tows to collect Trichodesmium samples (Hutchins/Webb). We also be carrying out simultaneous deckboard incubation work throughout the cruise using 4-5 flow-through deckboard incubators. | |

If the latter, we'll need to buy LN in Praia, we'd like to avoid that. | |||||||||||
