TitleHorizontal and Vertical Distribution of Thecosome Pteropods in Relation to Carbonate Chemistry in the Northwest Atlantic and Northeast Pacific
AbstractThe objective of this work is to quantify the distribution, abundance, species composition, shell condition, and vertical migratory behavior of oceanic thecosome pteropods in the northwest Atlantic and northeast Pacific, in relation to concurrent measurements of carbonate chemistry. Two cruises will be conducted, to the northwest Atlantic in August 2011 and to the northeast Pacific in August 2012. A combination of underway data collection and station activities will be conducted with 5 instrument packages: (1) A 1-m2 MOCNESS plankton net system (2) A profiling Video Plankton Recorder / CTD package, including bottles for water sampling. (3) A deep (500m) towed broadband acoustic scattering system (4) A hull-mounted narrowband multi-frequency acoustic scattering system (5) An underway multi-parameter inorganic carbon analyzer
