Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:
Sampling activities included underway measurements of air, atmospheric particles, rain, and surface seawater, together with mainly shallow CTD casts and biological sampling. Measurements of a wide variety of trace gases, trace metals, nitrogen species and biological parameters were made in both the upper ocean and atmosphere. Experiments were conducted on board to examine the response of phytoplankton to inputs of various nutrients and biological interactions related to trace gas production. The work on the cruise was conducted jointly by atmospheric chemists and physicists together. A long-therm sediment trap mooring of the Uni. Of Bremen was recovered at the equator. The overall objective of the cru. was to examine ways in which surface ocean biology and chemistry affects the athmospheric chemistry, in particular the deposition of particles, affects surface ocean biology and chemistry.
