PurposeResearch
ObjectivesJC105 was funded as part of NERCs Shelf Sea Biogeochemistry (SSB) programme. This programme aims to reduce uncertainly in our process understanding of the cycling of nutrients and carbon, and the controls on primary and secondary production in both the UK and European shelf seas, and in wider global biogeochemical cycles. A series of long-term moorings and gliders were deployed in the Celtic Sea in early 2014 (DY008) and will remain in
the water until late summer 2015. They will provide an unprecedented recorded of both physical and biogeochemical measurements across a full seasonal cycle providing the research community with (a) a long term record of the parameters controlling biogeochemical cycling rates and pathways, (b) a background against which to set process studies carried out on subsequent cruises and (b) essential data for model validation and development.

The main objective of JC105 was to service the gliders and moorings. Specifically:
(a) to service 8 moorings/landers distributed across 5 different sites in the Celtic Sea
(b) to recover 4 gliders (2 from the SSB programme and 2 from NERCs Sensors on Gliders (SoG) programme)
(c) to calibrate both the moorings and gliders

Mooring calibration was achieved via CTD casts pre-recovery and post-deployment. Samples were collected for DIC/TA, DIN, DON, Chl-a, SPM and oxygen.

Glider calibration was attempted by bringing all the gliders together just off the shelf edge (500 m depth) and performing a 12 hour (tidal) cycle of continual CTDs (15 casts in total) next to them. This is the first attempt at such a rigorous cross-calibration.

Additional CTDs were performed in between the main study sites to build a more complete cross-shelf picture of key biogeochemical and physical gradients (names A1-A5). FRRF samples were also taken from the ships underway non-toxic supply in order to trial a new instrument.
