Abundance of zooplankters for most stations IN and OUT (all except day 13).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Results are given as individuals per m2 by species and copepodite stage.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; Methods and Sampling: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Samples were collected with VMPS (Vertical Multi-layer Plankton Sampler)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
with a 50x50cm mouth opening and 100um mesh&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Samples were collected between 0-20, 20-50, 50-100 and 100-200m.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Samples were immediately fixed with 10% buffered formalin. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Listed zooplankters were identified counted and sorted out from the sample.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;

                            <gco:CharacterString>The two main objectives of the Iron Synthesis program (SCOR Working Group proposal, 2005), are:
1. Data compilation: assembling a common open-access database of the in situ iron experiments, beginning with the first period (1993-2002; Ironex-1, Ironex-2, SOIREE, EisenEx, SEEDS-1; SOFeX, SERIES) where primary articles have already been published, to be followed by the 2004 experiments where primary articles are now in progress (EIFEX, SEEDS-2; SAGE, FeeP); similarly for the natural fertilizations S.O.JGOFS (1992), CROZEX (2004/2005) and KEOPS (2005).
2. Modeling and data synthesis of specific aspects of two or more such experiments for various topics such as physical mixing, phytoplankton productivity, overall ecosystem functioning, iron chemistry, CO2 budgeting, nutrient uptake ratios, DMS(P) processes, and combinations of these variables and processes.

The first objective of the Iron Synthesis program involves a data recovery effort aimed at assembling a common, open-access database of data and metadata from a series of in-situ ocean iron fertilization experiments conducted between 1993 and 2005. Initially, funding for this effort is being provided by the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) and the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF).
Through the combined efforts of the principal investigators of the individual projects and the staff of Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO), data currently available primarily through individuals, disparate reports and data agencies, and in multiple formats, are being collected and prepared for addition to the BCO-DMO database from which they will be freely available to the community.
As data are contributed to the BCO-DMO office, they are organized into four overlapping categories:
1. Level 1, basic metadata
(e.g., description of project/study, general location, PI(s), participants);
2. Level 2, detailed metadata and basic shipboard data and routine ship's operations
(e.g., CTDs, underway measurements, sampling event logs);
3. Level 3, detailed metadata and data from specialized observations
(e.g., discrete observations, experimental results, rate measurements) and
4. Level 4, remaining datasets
(e.g., highest level of detailed data available from each study).
Collaboration with BCO-DMO staff began in March of 2008 and initial efforts have been directed toward basic project descriptions, levels 1 and 2 metadata and basic data, with detailed and more detailed data files being incorporated as they become available and are processed.

                            <gco:CharacterString>&lt;p&gt;An in situ test of the iron limitation hypothesis in the subarctic North Pacific Oceanwas performed. First experiment of two (see SEEDS 2004)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A single enrichment of dissolved iron caused a large increase in phytoplanktonstanding stock and decreases in macronutrients and dissolved carbon dioxide. The dominant phytoplankton species shifted after the iron addition from pennate diatoms to a centric diatom, &lt;i&gt;Chaetoceros debilis&lt;/i&gt;, that showed a very high growth rate, 2.6 doublings per day. Conclusion was that the bioavailability of iron regulates the magnitude of the phytoplankton biomass and the key phytoplankton species that determine the biogeochemical sensitivity to iron supply of high-nitrate, low-chlorophyll waters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Data was collected at a total of 13 stations and from 3 moored sediment traps.&lt;br /&gt;
- Stations were occupied IN patch for days 0, 2, 4, 7, 9, 11 and 13.&lt;br /&gt;
- Stations were occupied OUT patch for days 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 13.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is not explicitly stated but it appears that at all stations two CTDsampling rosette casts were made: clean and rms. The clean rosette appears to have typically sampled the mixed layer (&amp;lt;50 m) e.g. 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 m. The rms rosette appears to have typically sampled the euphotic zone (&amp;lt;200m) e.g. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 80, 100, 150, 200 m.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sediment traps were deployed at:&lt;br /&gt;
- CENTRE: 20 m&lt;br /&gt;
- IN: 40, 60, 100, 200 m&lt;br /&gt;
- OUT: 20, 40, 60 and 100 m&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Traps were recovered several times. Deployment times (days):&lt;br /&gt;
- CENTRE: 3.95, 2.83, 2.02, 1.98, 1.93, 2.05&lt;br /&gt;
- IN: 3.99, 2.84, 2.03, 2.00, 1.95, 2.01&lt;br /&gt;
- OUT: 5.17, 3.97, 3.42&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BCO-DMO/Doug Mackie Note:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout these data, stations are identified as D2-I, D2-O, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
D2-I indicates &quot;Day 2, in patch station&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
while D2-O indicates &quot;Day 2, out patch station&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
This applies to all station identifiers.&lt;/p&gt;

            <gco:CharacterString>PI Supplied Instrument Name: Vertical Multi-layer Plankton Sampler Instrument Name: Vertical Multi-layer Plankton Sampler Instrument Short Name:VMPS   Instrument Description: The Vertical Multiple Plankton Sampler (VMPS), a variation of the multiple plankton sampler (MPS), is a specially designed opening-closing, multi-layer net system used for collecting zooplankton (Terazaki and Tomatsu, 1997).  The mesh size and mouth opening can vary depending on research focus.  The VMPS is towed through depth ranges with nets closed at known intervals to yield estimations of standing stock, vertical distribution and diel vertical migration. 
 
The VMPS as described by Wiebe and Benfield (2003) is named the Ocean Research Institute Vertical Multiple Plankton Sampler (ORI-VMPS) with specifications: 100 cm x 100 cm rectangular mouth opening multiple net system that can be equipped with 4 to 10 nets, 510 cm long with 0.33 mm nylon mesh. Nets are opened/closed by surface commands down
transmitted via conduction cable to an underwater
unit (see Plate 31 C (Wiebe and Benfield, 2003)).
