Description

CRUISE OBJECTIVE/OBJECTIVES:

Survey water properties along Line P, enrich a patch of ocean with iron near

Station Papa (50N, 145W) and observe biological changes for a period of 18 days.



Conduct a mesoscale iron enrichment experiment at a site to the NE of P26 (Ocean Station Papa).

The rationale for this experiment was to follow the changes in phytoplankton growth rate and

related biogeochemical properties of the iron-limited resident cells.
