| Objectives and Narrative |
The Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) programme exploits the passage of the Royal Research Ship (RRS) James Clark Ross (JCR) latitudinally through the Atlantic Ocean between the United Kingdom and the Falkland Islands (approximately 52deg N to 52deg S) in support of British Antarctic Survey (BAS) research activities in the Antarctic and its environs. In September, the JCR sails southward, sampling the boreal fall and the austral springconditions in the northern hemisphere. The ship's track crosses a range of ecosystems and physicochemical regimes, within which conditions vary from sub-polar to tropical and from eutrophic shelf seas and upwelling systems to oligotrophic and mid-ocean gyres. The JCR provides the ideal platform to measure physical, biological and bio-optical properties and processes through these diverse ecosystems of the North and South Atlantic Oceans.
The AMT programme goals are: 1. To test and refine hypotheses on the responses of oceanic ecosystems and the coupled marine atmosphere to anthropogenically forced environmental change. 2. To develop a holistic research strategy, integrating shipboard measurements, remote sensing and modelling. 3. To provide calibration and validation of new satellite sensors of ocean colour, sea surface temperature, sea surface height and solar radiation. 4. To improve our knowledge of marine biogeochemical processes, ecosystem dynamics, food-webs and fisheries and characterize biogeochemical provinces. 5. To develop coupled physical-biological models of production and ecosystem dynamics. 6. To quantify ocean responses to changes in abundance of radiatively and chemically-active trace gases. The normal strategy for AMT cruises is set by the requirement for the JCR to make passage between the UK and the FI within the allocated time of 25 d plus 6 d added for scientific research. The geographical range of 50deg N, 1deg W to 52deg S, 58deg W, amounts to approximately 7500 miles (13800 km), requiring an average distance of 240 miles per day, or 4deg of latitude while on a N-S course (as on the 20deg W line). For AMT-6, with a focus on a high productivity, upwelling ecosystems and with 6 d extra for science spread of greatest interest (e.g. the Benguela). Thus the plan was to proceed northwards through the Benguela at only ca 150 miles per day, with more than one station as necessary and make a faster passage through the oligotrophic regions. |
