AMT14 Cruise Report
Extra ship time meant that AMT14 could take a more westerly route into towards the centre of the northern gyre than on previous AMT cruises.
The main objective of the cruise was to determine the trophic state of the planktonic ecosystem with respect to large scale patterns in the the ambient concentrations and supply to the surface waters of inorganic nutrients and of dissolved organic matter.
A NERC grant also enabled the first measurements of the standing stock and rates of formation of biogenic minerals (diatom silica and coccolithophore calcite) to be made on an AMT cruise. These measurements were used to provide a better understanding of the control of the biological pump.
