Voyage Objectives

This dual tracer, iron enrichment experiment was conducted from NIWA¿s ocean-going research vessel, RV Tangaroa. Led by New Zealand SOLAS, but with major contributions from the US and many other countries, the cruise featured an impressive interdisciplinary array of scientists. They managed to make some rare measurements of gas transfer at very high wind speeds and witnessed an interesting biological response to the iron addition

Comments
