Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS Discovery cruise DY111 |
|---|---|
| Short name | DY111 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
CUSTARD - Carbon Uptake and Seasonal Traits of Antarctic Remineralisation Depth. The CUSTARD project examines how seasonal changes in nutrient availability for phytoplankton, at a key junction of the global ocean circulation, influence how long carbon is trapped in the ocean rather than escaping to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. DY111 was a process cruise immediately prior to the mooring recovery cruise, to allow a more detailed study of the biogeochemistry of the site at the key spring bloom period.
Objectives 1. Deploy two other gliders (just for the duration of the cruise) 2. Deploy 6 BGC ARGO floats on behalf of the SOCCOM project 3. Make multiple visits to 3 sites along 89 W (OOI, TN at 57S and TS at 60S) 4. Carry out a full depth CTD transect between OOI and TS at 1 degree latitude resolution. All objectives were met, though one glider had to be recovered immediately after deployment due to a leak. Additionally, a modest spatial survey was carried out collecting underway data and samples along a grid-pattern extending 90km west of 89W, to assess upstream properties and gradients. |
