| Objectives and Narrative | The GEOTRACES West Atlantic cruise leg 1 was originally planned to start from Reykjavik, Iceland. However, air traffic was extremely difficult to plan due to the ash plume from the volcano under the Eyjafjallajoekull. During the transit Texel-Reykjavik it was decided that the port stop for exchanging scientists and fuelling was changed into Scrabster harbour in northernmost Scotland. Travel to and from the ship by nine and five scientists, respectively, was diverted accordingly. Because leaving from Scrabster instead of Reykjavik meant two more days of steaming two days were lost from the program. These lost days were among others the reason not to spend too much time on sampling surface waters for volcanic ash influences during the transit to the first station location west of Iceland. This was a rather difficult decision since the feeling of "once in a life time chance of being there where the action was", was hard to resist. However, we were financed and equipped to do the extensive GEOTRACES West Atlantic cruise leg 1, and as soon as possible we steamed to the first station location. It was possible to deploy the fish without reducing speed and so we did sample the surface waters when passing south of Iceland (at a considerable distance). We used two CTD systems, both with large volume samplers. One the ultraclean all-titanium frame, the so called UC CTD (UCC in the cruise summary file) collecting 24 samples of 27 Litres with novel butterfly-valve type ultraclean samplers made from clean PVDF plastic. Closed bottles were lowered into the water and were opened at a depth of 30 m. preventing any contamination. After recovery, the frame was placed on a trolley and wheeled into a clean container for sampling. The other CTD system consists of 24 new Niskin-type samplers of large 25 L volume that were mounted on a new stainless steel rosette sampler. In Situ Pumps (7 in total) were used in 6 stations. Underway sampling was executed by deploying a fish, dust samples were taken by two dust samplers on the top deck of Pelagia. Both CTDs performed perfectly, except for a little problem with a leak in a cable of the 25L CTD at station 8. The UC CTD has a high centre of gravity, therefore when on deck a danger exists in rough weather that the frame topples sideways. A solution will certainly be found for this problem. 17 stations were successfully sampled. |
