| Summary: | ATOS-2 Cruise (29HE20090124) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2009 ATOS project: Atmospheric inputs of organic carbon and pollutans to the polar ocean: rates, significance and outlook. "Quantify the atmospheric contributions of organic carbon and pollutants to the polar oceans, both those that occur at present and those that occurred in the last century and that have accumulated in the sea ice, being currently contributed to the ocean due to the melting of the ice in the poles. 1. Quantifying the atmospheric inputs of organic carbon and key organic pollutants both in aerosol and gaseous phases. 3. Evaluating the fate of the materials, by assessing their use by biota and transference up the food webs. 4. Evaluating the effects on microplankton as the entry points of the materials in the food web. 2. Elucidating the role of sea ice cover in controlling these rates and the inputs associated to sea ice melting |
