Description
The team, led by DR. Chris hunt, will set up and run an underway total alkalinity analyzer throughout the cruise to help determine how sensitive the oceans surface water is to changes in carbon dioxide. They will also collect water samples to run experiments on net community respiration, which tells US about the amount of carbon being released into the ocean by organisms living in the water. This team from UNH will also bring on board an instrument called a lander, which lands on the ocean floor and allows researchers to collect water samples at the very bottom of the sea. Researchers will test these samples for level 1 core OA parameters and net community respiration. Bottom water sampling is difficult to do with traditional niskin bottles, so the lander fills a GAP in our understanding of full water column chemistry. In addition to their work on gomecc, this team will provide an underway total alkalinity analyzer for the wcoa cruise.
