Cruise 2011-27, 16 August - 1 September 2011

Cruise description

This cruise was 100% successful. All stations were visited and all casts were done. This was the first time that both the DMS container and the Trace Metal container were set up on the aft-deck, and it worked really well. Most of the Trace Metal sampling was done using the Trace Metal Rosette - TMR - although some sampling was still performed in the chains using a clean pump and the X-Niskin bottles. During this cruise we also deployed one Argo float for DFO/Institute of Ocean Sciences as well as a weather data drifting buoy for Environment Canada. The sampling done during this cruise was performed using a CTD, a Rosette, and a Bongo. Two bongo casts were done at each major stations - a shallow cast to 250 m and a deeper cast to 1200 m. Five bongo casts were done at P26. For further details see Post_cruise_report.pdf in the documents section.
