Deployment: KM0814

2008-07-30 - 2008-08-14 North Pacific Subtropical Gyre north of Hawaii, near (25.5 N, 156.0 W). Platform:R/V Kilo Moana (vessel)

Description

OPEREX Cruise Objective
The objective of the OPEREX cruise will be to explore the potential and limitations of perturbation experiments at sea. We will follow some natural perturbations including blooms and eddies, and we will perform some of the artificial perturbation experiments including bench/lab scale incubations, ship deck incubations, and ship deck pH shift experiments.

Original cruise data are available from the NSF R2R data catalog
