BODC Cruise Metadata Report for Aurora Australis cruise AU0806 (GIPY06, SR3-GEOTRACES)

Introduction

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

Cruise Inventory Information

Long name Aurora Australis cruise AU0806 (GIPY06, SR3-GEOTRACES)
Short name AU0806 (GIPY06, SR3-GEOTRACES)
Objectives and Narrative Micronutrient trace elements exert an important influence on the growth and activity of microscopic life-forms in Southern Ocean surface waters. They in turn govern the drawdown of atmospheric carbon dioxide, a major factor in global climate change. This project joins with other international groups during the International Polar Year 2007-08 to carry out the first intensive circumpolar study of distribution and pathways of micronutrients in this important oceanic region.

Major focus of the cruise was as follows:
CASO, Climate of Antarctica and Southern Ocean; physical oceanography
GEOTRACES in the International Polar Year; chemical oceanography
Smaller programs on phytoplankton, photosynthetic response, biological oceanography
Ship Aurora Australis
