Phytoplankton Processes in the Arctic Ocean

这项提议是一项综合科学调查的一部分， 研究北冰洋、大气和 在苏联摩尔曼斯克和阿拉斯加诺姆之间的横断面上的海冰。 很少有生物量或产量的公开测量 来自北冰洋的大部分大陆架和盆地地区。 这 该项目是四个将评估生物过程中， 北冰洋在巡航期间。 这项研究将衡量 碳结合的分布、丰度和速率， 北极不同地理区域的浮游植物 海洋 它将审查调节 生产以及可出口产品和总量之间的划分 生产规模大。

This proposal is part of an integrated scientific investigation to study the properties of the Arctic ocean, atmosphere, and sea-ice on a transect between Murmansk, USSR and Nome, Alaska. There are few published measurements of biomass or production from most shelf and basin regions of the Arctic Ocean. This project is one of four that will evaluate biological processes in the Arctic Ocean during the cruise. This research will measure the distribution, abundance and rates of carbon incorporation by phytoplankton in geographically diverse regions of the Arctic Ocean. It will examine the factors regulating rates of production and the partitioning between exportable and total production large spatial scales.
