Logistical support for the continuation of the US GEOTRACES N Atlantic Basin section (shipboard trace elements).

美国GEOTRACES号北大西洋区域段巡航定于2010年10月15日至12月5日进行。 由于船舶推进系统出现无法解决的重大机械故障，探险队不得不在完成约三分之一的计划轨道后于11月4日在佛得角群岛终止。 这就需要对所有海上调查员的回程旅费以及所有样品和设备的运输安排进行现场更改。 本提案中要求的资金用于支付PI参加定于2011年秋季继续进行的北大西洋部分巡航的相关差旅费和运费。旅费将确保两人参加第二次航行，并确保一人前往伍兹霍尔，在船只返回港口后进行复员。 运输成本是需要得到一个船上集装箱与分析仪器，一个CTD，和GO-FLO瓶到船上，并返回夏威夷大学。 完成溶解铁，铝，镉，锰，锌回收从不同的海洋制度的北大西洋的分析将显着进一步加深我们的理解，这些元素在海洋环境中的地球化学循环。

The U.S. GEOTRACES North Atlantic zonal section cruise was scheduled for 15 October through 5 December 2010. Because of a major irresolvable mechanical failure of the ship's propulsion system, the expedition had to be terminated in the Cape Verde Islands on 4 November after completing about one third of the planned track. This required on-the-spot changes in return travel for all sea-going investigators as well as in shipping arrangements for all their samples and equipment. The funds requested in this proposal address the PI's need to cover travel and shipping cost associated with his participation in the continuation of the North Atlantic section cruise scheduled for autumn 2011. The travel costs would ensure that two people can participate in the second cruise, as well as for one person to travel to Woods Hole to demobilize the ship upon its return to port. Shipping costs are needed to get a shipboard container with analytical instrumentation, a CTD, and GO-FLO bottles to the ship and back to the University of Hawaii. Completing the analysis of dissolved Fe, Al, Cd, Mn, and Zn recovered from different oceanographic regimes of the North Atlantic Ocean would significantly further our understanding of the biogeochemical cycles of these elements in the marine environment.
