Nutrient Analysis During the Transports of Equatorial Waters (TEW-1) Cruise

1987年6月，美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）的研究船Oceanographer 研究员将完成一个横跨太平洋的区域性剖面 从秘鲁到Custralia的海洋，大约在南纬15度。 游轮是 赤道沃茨输送实验的一部分， 正在进行的EPOCS和TOGA计划的组成部分，并将提供 数据，以确定水和热量的通量通过 科. 这笔赠款将提供资金，使船上 分析磷酸盐，亚硝酸盐，亚硝酸盐和硅酸盐在这些 游轮. 这些营养物质将被用来追踪 确定氮素缺乏地带性程度的环流 南太平洋的沃茨，并回答有关 Gnobal还为未来研究提供地面覆盖， 环流和海洋通量，如WOCE和GOFS。 首席调查员非常有资格 完成这项任务。 Codispoti和Barber有长期的工作记录， 氮和碳在海洋中的循环。

During June 1987 the NOAA research vessels OCEANOGRAPHER and RESEARCHER will complete a zonal section across the Pacific Ocean from Peru to Custralia at about 15 S. The cruises are part of the Transport of Equatorial Waters (TEW) experiment, a component of ongoing EPOCS and TOGA programs, and will provide data to determine the fluxes of water and heat across the section. This grant will provide funds to make shipboard analysis phosphate, nitrite, nitrite, and silicate during these cruises. The nutrients will be used to trace the general ocean circulation to determine the zonal extent of nitrogen deficient waters in the South Pacific and answer specific questions on the gnobal also provide ground coverage for future studies of the circulation and ocean fluxes, like WOCE and GOFS. The principal investigators are eminently qualified to carry out this task. Codispoti and Barber have long records of work on the nitrogen and carbon cycles in the ocean.
