Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RRS Discovery (74E3) cruise D158 |
|---|---|
| Short name | D158 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. To monitor the development of the spring bloom and to study the processes of aggregation resulting in the fast-sinking phytodetritus.
2. To collect the sinking material during its passage through the water column and to study the changes taking place during this passage and to quantify the flux. 3. To investigate the significance of the material to the mid-water and benthic communities. |
