Instruments

Dataset-specific Instrument Name
CTD Seabird 911
Generic Instrument Name
CTD Sea-Bird 911
Dataset-specific Description
CTD-rosette
Generic Instrument Description
The Sea-Bird SBE 911 is a type of CTD instrument package. The SBE 911 includes the SBE 9 Underwater Unit and the SBE 11 Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) for deployment from a vessel. The combination of the SBE 9 and SBE 11 is called a SBE 911. The SBE 9 uses Sea-Bird's standard modular temperature and conductivity sensors (SBE 3 and SBE 4). The SBE 9 CTD can be configured with auxiliary sensors to measure other parameters including dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorescence, light (PAR), light transmission, etc.). More information from Sea-Bird Electronics.

Description
The cruise began in Townsville, Australia and sampled the Coral Sea, a transect southward toward the Tasman Sea, and a transect northward toward New Caledonia, with twelve hydrostations (001-012). It then made a run eastward to 170 deg W, a northward run to 15 deg S, then a transect to the east before ending in Suva, Fiji after carrying out fourteen stations (013-026). Cruise information and original data are available from the NSF R2R data catalog.

Biology and Ecology of Newly Discovered Diazotrophs in the Open Ocean (DIAZOTROPHS)

Coverage: Tropical and Subtropical Southwest Pacific and tropical North Atlantic


Biology and Ecology of Newly Discovered Diazotrophs in the Open Ocean

The productivity of the oceans is limited by the availability of nutrients,

which has implications for the fluxes of carbon between the atmosphere and

oceans. In a previous award the PIs found that previously unrecognized

N2-fixing unicellular cyanobacteria are active and abundant in oligotrophic

oceans. This finding has important implications for nitrogen cycling in the

oceans and for the role of "new" nitrogen in carbon fixation.



The PIs will address three major issues:

First, there are at least two distinct groups of cyanobacteria that appear

to be separated in space and time, due to unknown ecological variables.



Second, the geographic distribution and factors controlling the distribution

are unknown, so it is not clear how these organisms should be included in

biogeochemical models.



Finally, one of the groups of cyanobacteria appears to fix N2 during the day,

which revives the enigma of simultaneous nitrogen fixation and photosynthesis

that was previously limited to discussions of Trichodesmium.
