- Abstract:
- Six transects of the Atlantic Ocean will be undertaken between 2002 and 2005 to determine the structure and functioning of planktonic ecosystems in relation to physical and atmospheric processes that affect, directly or indirectly, the ocean carbon cycle. A range of new technologies will be applied to the measurement of key biological processes that control the formation and fate of organic matter. The observations, together with those obtained from earlier transects between 1995 and 2000, will be used to analyse annual and longer term variability in ocean ecology and biogeochemistry within the context of climate change. The cruises will also enable formal training in interdisciplinary oceanography to be given to a new generation of PhD students.
