Period: 2013-07-27 08:00 to 2013-08-10 02:00 UTC

Duration: 13.75 days

From: Broome To: Brisbane

Region: Northern coast of Australia, Great Barrier Reef,

Ship: Southern Surveyor [details]

Description: MNF Southern Surveyor research voyage SS2013_t03. Ship time on this transit voyage was allocated to four programs listed below 1. Microbial oceanography of northern Australia - primary program,lead by UTS 2. Global drifter program - lead by Dr Kiki Dethmers at NAMRA-AIMS, 3. Swath mapping around the GBR, lead by Dr Robin Beaman (JCU) and Dr Gordon Keith(CSIRO) 4. Greenhouse gas measurement, lead by Dagmar Kubistin at UoW With the Scientific Objectives: 1-1. To determine the significance, diversity and seasonality of nitrogen fixation by microorganisms in the nitrogen limited waters of NW and NE Australia (Lauren Messer). 1-2. To examine the expression of light harvesting genes in phototrophic bacteria in different optical climates in the northern coastal and oceanic region of Australia (Jaume Biblioni). 1-3. To understand the biogeochemical role of eukaryotes with respect to N and Si uptake processes. 1-4. To understand the diversity and biogeochemical role of eukaryotes with respect to N uptake processes. 1-5. To reveal the species composition, photophysiology and carbon fixation of phytoplankton in optically complex coastal and ocean waters surrounding Northern Australia. 1-6. To obtain a new understanding of the processes involved in marine snow formation at different depths within the pristine waters of Northern Australia. 2-1. To determine the direction and velocity of subsurface currents across the Timor and Arafura Seas 2-2. To obtain baseline parameters for developing a dispersal prediction model of derelict fishing gear 2-3. To observe (and potentially retrieve) derelict fishing gear, in particular 'ghost nets' 2-4. To record and identify marine wildlife sightings across the Arafura and Timor Seas 3-1 To determine the full spatial distribution of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) shelf edge submerged reefs, i.e. can we identify their northern and southern limits? 3-2 To understand the detailed geomorphology of the submerged reefs and shelf edge features at these northern and southern limits. 3-3 To collect swath data in those parts of the upper-slope that currently have no swath data. 4-1 Make continuous measurements of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide and ozone as the RV Southern Surveyor travels along the chosen transect; 4-2 Assimilate measured data into a variety of atmospheric chemical transport, inverse and statistical models to improve our knowledge and understanding of atmospheric greenhouse gases and their sources and sinks.
