JR177 Discovery 2010 Summer Cruise
2
Big Ideas To classify pelagic communities and foodwebs within different environments and across seasons within the Scotia Sea To collect body condition indices and other parameters to examine life-cycle flexibility across the Scotia Sea To examine physical variability as a forcing factor in pelagic community variability
3
Core objectives of JR177 To carry out a core sampling strategy that:- (i)Allows comparison across the range of Scotia Sea environments (ii)Allows comparisons across seasons (iii) Linkage between different trophic levels (primary, secondary, higher) 1 To determine different scales of variability in physical and biological parameters (large scale - water masses, mesoscale - around stations, small scale – krill swarms) 2 To characterise the main drivers of variability (i)Physical characterisation of core transect – calibrated against satellite data (ii)Macro- and micro-nutrient characterisation (including iron) 3 Determine flux within the context of pelagic food web processes 4

JR161 - Sea Surface Temperature
7
JR177 48 days for core science (46 when taking mob/demob into account) (this includes 3 days for DIMES) Core box time (+ calibration) is split out into an additional cruise = JR185 JR185 will be done before Xmas, JR177 after Xmas
