Objectives :

To study the biotic and abiotic processes controlling biogeochemical fluxes in the water column.
Specific topics:

production in the photic layer (nutrients and CO₂ distribution, primary production, etc)
biogeochemical transformations during transfer (secondary production, grazing, microbial transformation, particle transfer, carbon transfer, aggregation processes, etc)

Cruise Period Start : 12 March 1998 End : 20 March 1998

Description of the field observations :

1) CTD casts (P,T,S,light transimission, DO, insitu fluorescense)
2) Rosette samples (for dissolved oxygen, salinity, nutrients, pigments, phytoplankton, bacteria and microzooplankton populations)
3) Primary Production in situ experiments (according to ¹⁴C and ¹⁵N uptake rates)
4) Zooplankton net samples (taxonomy, biomass, egg and fecal pellet production, gut content)
5) POM (POC, PON, ATP, lipids, proteins, nucleid acids)
6) Underwater spectral irradiance
7) Aggregation processes using snow camera
8) DOC
