This research effort will conduct measurements of primary production and grazing on cruises to the equatorial Pacific in 1992. The basic measurement techniques will use the stable isotope 13C to assess total carbon production and the dilution technique to measure grazing by microzooplankton. Measurements will be directed toward quantifying the potential for dissolved organic production by the equatorial upwelling system and providing comparisons for the model simulations.

这项研究工作将进行测量的主要 年前往赤道太平洋的游轮上的生产和放牧 1992. 基本的测量技术将使用稳定同位素 13 C评估总碳产量和稀释技术， 通过微型浮游动物来测量吃草量。 测量将被引导 以量化溶解有机物生产的潜力， 赤道上升流系统，并提供比较， 模型模拟。
