Objectives

RRS Discovery cruise 258 was the first of four supported by the NERC Marine Productivity (MarProd) thematic programme. The MarProd cruise series provides the main opportunity for data- and sample-gathering to address the overall programme goal, viz: "to develop coupled modelling and observation systems for the pelagic ecosystem, with emphasis on physical factors affecting zooplankton dynamics". The principal cruise-specific research objectives for Discovery 258 were as follows:
1) Map the physical features of the survey region (Irminger Sea and parts of the Iceland Basin) in terms of water mass distribution, velocity field and mixed layer properties
2) Obtain additional information to estimate future water mass fluxes and particle trajectories, via float deployments and tracer analyses
3) Collect water samples for plant pigment and microscopic analyses, to estimate the biomass of different taxonomic/functional groups of microplankton
4) Measure high resolution profiles of inorganic and organic nutrient concentrations
5) Determine the 3D abundance of mesozooplankton of interest (primarily the copepod Calanus finmarchicus), and their planktivorous predators (primarily euphausiid spp), obtaining material for further taxonomic, physiological and biochemical studies.

There was strong emphasis on obtaining an integrated, interdisciplinary data set, not only to bring together researchers involved in survey-related MarProd projects, but also to "set the scene" for subsequent cruises during 2002 (involving additional groups) - and to facilitate comparisons with historical datasets (eg NORWESTLANT, 1963 and Continuous Plankton Recorder surveys); EU-supported zooplankton programmes (TASC and ICOS); and other national and international studies.
There was a mid-cruise port call at Reykjavik, Iceland from 25-27 November.
