IMR Standard Section Svinøy

The IMR Standard Sampling Program aboard the RV METEOR for the 'Deep Convection' Cruise in 2012 under the EURO-BASIN initiative focuses on long-term monitoring of vital marine ecosystems. Conducted on the Svinøy section five times per year, key objectives include capturing hydrographic, nutrient, phytoplankton, and zooplankton data. Sampling methods involve CTD casts, water bottle collections for nutrients, and macroplankton trawling. This program contributes to understanding environmental changes and biodiversity in the Arctic northern Atlantic.

  1. IMR Standard Section Svinøy Sampling program RV METEOR ‘Deep Convection’ Cruise 2012 EURO-BASIN Cruise Programme, 29-30 Sep 2011

  2. IMR Standard sections and fixed stations • Svinøy standard section: • Repeated 5 times per year • Januar, March, May, July, November • Objectives: • Long term monitoring of • Hydrography • Nutrients • Phytoplankton • ooplankton RV METEOR ‘Deep Convection’ Cruise 2012 EURO-BASIN Cruise Programme, 29-30 Sep 2011

  3. Standard sampling program on Svinøy section

  4. Sampling program • Zooplankton • WP2 (180 mµ) 0-200m at all stations • 1 m2 Mocness (180 mµ) to bottom at selected stations (if weather and cable permits) • 50% of sample on formalin • 50% of sample: Biomass size fractions >180, >1000, >2000 (extracting krill, amphipods, shrimps, fish,+) • Phytoplankton • Chlorophyll samples down to 100 m • Phytoplankton species: Water samples (0-30 m) from the bottles (lugol) • Phytoplankton species: 10 mµ net haul (30-0m) (20% formalin) • Secchi • Nutrients • 12 water bottles • Nutrient samples from all depths • Nitrate, Nitrite, Phosphate, Silicate (ammonium is possible) • Hydrography • CTD with Fluorescence, oxygen, Light, Ph (to bottom at all depths • Thermo-salinograph (T, S, Fluorescence) • Weather station data...

  5. Additional sampling at Svinøy • Macroplankton trawl for macroplankton and micronekton • Mulitfrequency acoustics (fish, macroplankton, micronekton) • ADCP • Applied for two days extra on the Svinøy section for BASIN • Standard program takes about two days... • Challange: we do not know what ship will be used yet... • GOSars about 25 berths for scientists. Standard IMR scientific crew on Standard sections are 4 persons. • Johan Hjort ? • Håkon Mosby ? RV METEOR ‘Deep Convection’ Cruise 2012 EURO-BASIN Cruise Programme, 29-30 Sep 2011

  6. Database • IMR database holds: • hydrographic data, including fluorescence • Nutrient and chlorophyll data • Zooplankton data (nets and macroplankton trawl) • Fish data (trawl) • Acoustic raw data and scrutinised data • Data from towed platforms (CTD, fluor., OPC, Acoustics, VPR self contained) RV METEOR ‘Deep Convection’ Cruise 2012 EURO-BASIN Cruise Programme, 29-30 Sep 2011

  7. BASIN cruise June 2012 • 13 days with G.O. Sars in early June 2012 (Confirmed by IMR cruise committee) • Time to be shared with other projects (INDIPOP, ++?) • Arctic front between Iceland and Jan Mayen RV METEOR ‘Deep Convection’ Cruise 2012 EURO-BASIN Cruise Programme, 29-30 Sep 2011

  8. BASIN Cruise objectives • T5.1.2 Spatial structure in small pelagic fish populations, Atlanto Scandic herring, blue whiting and mackerel • Migration of herring in relation to zooplankton dynamics at the Arctic front • Cruise activities will focus on the continuous monitoring of high resolution 3D distribution of hydrography, fluorescence, size resolved zooplankton, and fish.
