Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RV Belgica (11BE) cruise BG9919A |
|---|---|
| Short name | BG9919A |
| Objectives and Narrative |
Biogeochemical survey of area at La Chapelle Bank (approximately 47deg 30'N, 7deg 10'W).
Main tasks: 1. Underway measurements of salinity, temperature, relative fluorescence, meteorological parameters, pCO2, pH and dissolved O2. 2. CTD profiles and light (PAR) profiles. Parameters sampled from 2 CTDs - dissolved O2, alkalinity, pH, nutrients, chlorophyll. 3. Production experiments on samples from 1 CTD. Duplicate roscop no 4454. |
