Cruise period

Status

Completed

Port of departure

Freeport, Bahamas

Port of return

Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

Objectives

To collect hydrographic and chemical data initially from the Florida Current at 27° N, and subsequently across the Atlantic Ocean between approximately 24 and 27.5° N.
Upon leaving Freeport, an ADCP survey of the Florida Current was conducted (east-west), followed by a nine-station CTD section (west-east) across the Current. The remainder of the cruise was then devoted to a major CTD programme (114 casts), carried out between approximately 24 and 27.5° N as the ship headed east across the Mid-Atlantic Ridge to the eastern boundary. Another objective of this cruise was to study ocean and atmospheric chemistry and so regular samples and measurements were taken alongside the main hydrographic programme as the ship returned to Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Measurements

Physical oceanography

Surface measurements underway (T,S)

Quantity: activity duration in days = 38
Description: Autoflux. Measurement of air-sea CO2 flux.

Surface measurements underway (T,S)

Quantity: activity duration in days = 38
Description: Discrete sampling from contaminated water supply for underway salinity/temperature calibration. Sampling interval every 2-8 hours (non-toxic supply was not used as water pressure was too low).

Surface measurements underway (T,S)

Quantity: activity duration in days = 38
Description: Sea surface hydrography underway measurements

Water bottle stations

Quantity: number of samples = 1623
Description: Water samples collected from CTD bottles to determine partial pressure of CO2. Analysis by infrared absorption of CO2. Not all CTD stations were sampled.

Water bottle stations

Quantity: number of samples = 1526
Description: Water samples collected from CTD bottles to determine total alkalinity. Analysed by titration. CRMs and replicates (taken from random bottles) used as before. Not all CTD stations were sampled.

Water bottle stations

Quantity: number of stations = 120
Description: Discrete water samples taken from CTD bottles for calibration of CTD salinity (no samples for stations 11 and 28 where no bottles were fired). When less than 24 samples per cast were obtained, duplicates were taken from the deepest cast.

Water bottle stations

Quantity: number of samples = 1523
Description: Water samples collected from CTD bottles to determine total inorganic carbon. Analysed with coulometer, using CRMs to determine accuracy and replicates to assess precision. Not all CTD stations were sampled.

Water bottle stations

Description: Water samples collected from CTD bottles for dissolved oxygen analysis (deep stations only when microelectrode sensor could not be used).

CTD stations

Quantity: number of stations = 123
Description: SeaBird 9/11. 126 CTD casts (including 1 test cast, excluding 3 cast failures). Parameters: temperature, salinity, pressure, oxygen, fluorescence, beam attenuation, beam transmission.

Geochemical tracers (eg freons)

Quantity: number of stations = 129
Description: Water samples taken from CTD bottles for CFC analysis (CFC-12, CFC-11, CFC-13, CCl4). Most stations produced 24 samples (1 for each rosette bottle), plus one duplicate taken at random. Analysis performed using GC-EDC. Every 10 measurements were followed by analysis of a blank and standard.

Current profiler (eg ADCP)

Quantity: activity duration in days = 1
Description: ADCP survey
