Physical, Chemical and Biological Data, CLIMAX I Expedition, 19 September-28 September 1968.

Abstract

The first cruise of this series was Climax I and its specific purpose was to investigate the vertical distribution of phytoplankton and macrozooplankton species, microzooplankton biomass, temperature, salinity, oxygen, nutrients, chlorophyll-a, primary productivity and light. The tactics used were to follow a pair of parachute drogues for a period of about eleven days while taking replicate measurements of these properties. Two drogues were used in order to ensure that complicated circulation patterns were not present and that small scale eddies would not disperse the properties being measured. If the drogues remained together and followed the 'same' track as they drifted, it was taken as evidence that the sampling, done between the drogues, was in a reasonable coherent body of water.
