Description

SIOGDC_Cruise_CruiseID: ZHNG02RR
SIOGDC_Cruise_Name: ZHENG HE Expedition (ZHNG)

A hydrographic/carbon/tracer survey in the South Pacific Ocean was carried out from R/V Roger Revelle from 9 January through 19 February 2005.

The cruise departed from Papeete, Tahiti on 9 January, 2005. A meridional transect from 16 to 71 degrees South along 150 degrees West was completed. 111 full-depth CTD/rosette/LADCP casts (at one-half degree spacing), 4 shallow CDOM rosette casts, and 58 trace metals CTD/rosette casts were completed from 10 January to 11 February. Salinity, dissolved oxygen, and nutrients were analyzed for up to 36 water samples from each cast of the principal CTD/rosette program.

Other parameters sampled included CFCs, helium, total inorganic carbon, alkalinity, radiocarbon, tritium, several parameters related to dissolved organic matter, and nitrogen-15. Additional deployments included 12 ARGOS floats and 21 Bio-Optics casts.

The cruise ended in Wellington, New Zealand on 19 February 2005.

EXPOCODE 33RR200501 was confirmed with the CLIVAR CCHDO (June 2011) and the other data sets from this cruise are available from the U.S. CLIVAR DAC at CCHDO from: https://cchdo.ucsd.edu/cruise/33RR200501
