Description
Summary:Several years ago the Naval Ocean Research and Development Activity initiated a project to examine the interrelationships between dissolved trace gases and suspended particulate material in the upper water column of the world oceans. The goal of the project was to observe and understand the variations in biological parameters, gas distributions and suspended particulate layers to provide an assessment of in situ gas production mechanisms associated with particulate material. This report is a summary of data collected in the western North Atlantic Ocean in the summer of 1982 aboard USNS LYNCH, Cruise 710-82. Vertical profiles through most of the water column were obtained for the following parameters: conductivity, temperature, salinity, nephelometry, transmissometry, total suspended matter, dissolved and particulate organic carbon, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), chlorophyll and phaeopigments, nutrients (nitrate), nitrite, ammonium, phosphate, silicate), dissolved oxygen and dissolved reduced gases (methane and nitrous oxide). Tables of the measured and certain derived parameters are given, along with descriptions of the collection and analytical procedures.
