With funding through this Grant for Rapid Response Research (RAPID), a research team at the University of Miami, in collaboration with another team in Bermuda, will provide critical measurements of the carbonate parameters on the upcoming North Atlantic GEOTRACES cruises. These results will be vitally important in interpreting the trace metal studies. A secondary scientific objective is to provide additional measurements of salinity and density in the Atlantic Ocean. Similar measurements, made in the Pacific and Indian oceans, have been used in the 2010 International Thermodynamic Equation of Seawater (TEOS-10). This data will provide additional information on the study of the impact and influence of the carbon cycle on climate change and the workings of the ocean?s biogeochemical cycles. This research is part of a larger international effort to monitor the ocean's response to climate change. The originally proposed work was delayed because of the termination of the R/V Knorr cruise. RAPID funding is requested in order to complete the research and to prepare for a unique cruise that sails around the 5 November 2011 aboard the R/VKnorr. The broader impacts of these continuing measurements provide dissemination of data to enhance scientific and technological understanding to assess climate change. This work will be part of the dissertation research of a Ph.D. students. It will promote training and learning of graduate students as well as undergraduate students. Outreach activities will continue as opportunities arise. The results will be disseminated throughout the scientific community through resulting publications and the presentation of results at national and international meetings

在快速反应研究基金（Rapid）的资助下，迈阿密大学的一个研究小组将与百慕大的另一个研究小组合作，为即将到来的北大西洋GEOTRACES游轮提供碳酸盐参数的关键测量数据。这些结果将对解释微量金属研究至关重要。第二个科学目标是提供大西洋盐度和密度的额外测量。2010年国际海水热力学方程（TEOS-10）中也使用了在太平洋和印度洋进行的类似测量。这些数据将为研究碳循环对气候变化和海洋运作的影响和影响提供更多信息。S生物地球化学循环。这项研究是监测海洋对气候变化反应的更大国际努力的一部分。最初提出的工作被推迟，因为R/V诺尔巡航的终止。为了完成这项研究，并准备在2011年11月5日左右乘坐R/VKnorr号进行一次独特的巡航，需要快速资助。这些持续测量的更广泛影响提供了数据的传播，以加强对评估气候变化的科学和技术认识。这项工作将成为博士生论文研究的一部分。它将促进研究生和本科生的培养和学习。一旦有机会，将继续开展外联活动。研究结果将通过出版物和在国家和国际会议上介绍结果在整个科学界传播
