Objectives and Narrative |
The primary production performed by microscopic photosynthetic organisms called phytoplankton living in the upper ocean forms a major component of the natural carbon cycle. Consequently, it is important to have a detailed understanding of the environmental factors driving variability in phytoplankton production. The availability of a variety of nutrients is thought to exert a fundamental control on phytoplankton growth in many parts of the ocean. Recent work by our group and some others has suggested that iron might even be playing a role in the high latitude North Atlantic, a region previously thought to be iron replete. D350 thus forms the first part of a 2 cruise operation planned to be undertaken during 2010, the second cruise being D354 in July-August. The overall programme (funded by a NERC standard grant) aims to significantly increase our understanding of iron biogeoschemistry in this important oceanic region. The two cruises were intended to sample important different phases of the seasonal cycle in a region which is typified by a large annual phytoplankton bloom which is responsible for significant carbon export from the upper ocean.
The RRS Discovery departed on cruise D350 from King George V dock, Govan, UK at 1215 on Monday 26th April 2010 and docked in Reykjavik Iceland after 14 days at sea on Sunday 9th May. During the cruise all scientific work was recorded on GMT and ship time was altered from BST (GMT+1hr) to GMT on 28th April.. A total of 9 stations were occupied from 29th April - 8th May 2010, with one shakedown station and 8 principal scientific sampling stations. After an initial long passage including the shakedown station and regularly underway sampling for nutrients, chlorophyll and trace metals, intensive over the side scientific work commenced on 1st May, with one major station being occupied daily from 1st May - 8th May inclusive. Once commenced at 1200 on 28th April underway sampling was maintained while off station at hourly intervals for all parameters other than metals, the latter being collected at 2 hourly intervals. In general, stations were commenced at night (typically between 2300 and 0300) and consisted of multiple CTD casts, using both a stainless steel and a titanium rosette frame, zooplankton net hauls, and Stand Alone Pump Systems (SAPS) deployments. A trace metal clean tow fish was also deployed throughout the cruise starting at 0715 on 28th April with samples being collected every 2 hours whilst off station from 1200 on 28th April through to 8th May. Water from the epoxy coated fish was pumped directly into a clean chemistry container using a Teflon pump system through acid washed PVC tubing. A wide variety of samples were collected from both the underway supplies and during CTD stations. Although some parameters were measured at sea, the majority of samples will be returned to shore laboratories for analysis. Experimental work was also performed on the cruise to measure the biological response to both artificial manipulation of the availability of the micronutrient iron and grazing pressure. Measurements of the uptake rate of various substrates was further performed using a variety of tracer techniques. The towed undulating sensor system Seasoar was also deployed twice on the cruise. An APEX float was also deployed during the cruise at the end of occupation of the second major station. |
