Description: Southern Surveyor voyage SS200609

Southern Surveyor research voyage SS200609

Title
A comparison of nutrient supply processes and biological productivity in upwelling and frontal regions of the Lord Howe Ridge

Voyage Objectives
The on-board observational program will utilise the following observational equipment.
(a) CTD casts at stations along transects of the Tasman Front and Lord Howe topography, using the full rosette sampler and fluorometer. We will take standard nutrients (NOx, P, Si), salinity and oxygen at up to 8 depths at each station. Transects will have casts to 300 or 500 m depth.
(b) ADCP and SeaSoar profiles along transects at 8 knots. The SeaSoar will have the UNSW Optical Plankton Counter mounted.
(c) Neuston net samples simultaneously with Rectangular Midwater Trawl (RMT) plankton samples from the stern. Nearly all plankton sampling will take place at night, usually between 1900-2400, but where pilchard or gemfish larvae are particularly abundant we plan to sample them during the day as well. Plankton will be preserved in 5% formalin at an appropriate location on the back deck. The first and last tows of the 3 replicates will be iced and be presorted for pilchard larvae for separate preservation in 95% alcohol.
(d) Recent SST and ocean colour satellite images will be downloaded throughout the voyage to ensure transects are related to current/topography areas of interest.
(e) Underway measurements of SST and fluorescence from automatic analysis of thermosalinograph intake waters.
(f) a single current meter mooring will be deployed at the saddle point between Lord Howe and Balls Pyramid, for the period of a few days that the ship will be working in the region..............
