Description

The main purpose of this cruise was to study the organic matter put into the atmosphere as particles (also called aerosols) that are generated from bursting bubbles at the sea surface. To do this, the investigators deployed an aerosol generator to reproduce a model surface ocean using the ship's clean flow-through seawater system. The ship occupied four hydrographic stations: two biologically productive stations and two stations in the Sargasso Sea. To support the aerosol generator work, over fifty CTD casts were conducted to collect seawater and to characterize the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the water column.
