BODC Cruise Metadata Report for Tangaroa cruise TAN0811 (FeCycle II, GPpr01)

Introduction

This report collates information from the BODC cruise inventory and oceanographic databases. It presents

Cruise Inventory Information

Long name Tangaroa cruise TAN0811 (FeCycle II, GPpr01)
Short name TAN0811 (FeCycle II, GPpr01)
Objectives and Narrative FeCycle II comprised three interlinked components

a) A comprehensive study of coupled C and Fe bloom biogeochemistry during the evolution, termination and decline of the annual spring bloom E of the N Island of New Zealand.
b) A detailed investigation of the fate of the bloom - particle dynamics & export during the bloom phases of evolution, termination and decline.
c) Examination of specific processes occurring during the bloom decline - production of biogenic gases, particle remineralisation and microbial processes.
