| Summary: | 99 páginas.-- Aida F. Ríos . et al. The objectives of the CATARINA project are a) to quantify the Meridional Overturning Circulation and water mass ventilation changes and their effect on the changes in the anthropogenic carbon ocean uptake and storage capacity, and b) to evaluate the effect of present CO2 emissions and past atmospheric CO2 concentrations in the production and preservation of CaCO3, both in the North Atlantic To can achieve these objectives, the CATARINA cruise was organized in two phases according to the two main activities of the project: “Circulation and anthropogenic CO2”, and “Past and recent acidification impacts”. LEG 1: Section OVIDE 2012 including Labrador: 103 stations. Chief Scientist: Aida F. Ríos. LEG 2: Paleoacid: 6 areas of sampling. Chief Scientist: Guillermo Frances. This report is organized in two parts: Leg 1 (pages 2-61) and Leg 2 (pages 62-91), and finishing with a Miscellany (pages 92-98) that covers common issues on internationalization, outreach, incidences during the cruise and acknowledgements. Project funded by MICINN, Ref. CTM2010-17141 and co-funded by FEDER Peer reviewed
