Summary: | This cruise leg uses REVELLE as part of a multi-ship operation with MELVILLE (COOK19MV) and POLAR STAR to perform the Southern Ocean Iron Enrichment experiment (SOFeX). Two patches of iron enriched seawater will be formed in the Southern Ocean: one patch north of the Polar Front in low Si waters and one patch south in waters with Si > 60 uM. REVELLE will survey each site, perform the iron additions, perform initial sampling and then map the spatial extent of the patches. MELVILLE will follow on to perform detailed biological analyses, while POLAR STAR follows up to assess carbon export from the patches. |
