Cruise Details
Start Port and Country: Mauritius, India / Start date: April 27, 2014
End Port and Country: Goa, India / End Date: May 30, 2014
Location: [general description of study area; map/ cruise track/ coordinates if possible]
Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean
Cruise Overview: [proposal abstract]
Trace elemental and isotope determination in the Indian Ocean to know their sources and internal cycling. Tracking Indonesian through flow
Inter-calibration efforts: Please provide details of how each element will be calibrated to meet the requirements of the GEOTRACES programme e.g. use of SaFe standards, collaborative sampling, cross-over stations (latitudes and longitudes of the cross over stations, the cruise which you are crossing with and the station numbers):
SaFe and GEOTRACES standards, Cross Over Japanese station
List of parameters to be submitted to GDAC: Key parameters listed - please list any other parameters measured and the PI’s contact information associated with those parameters. Also include information in regards to the phase i.e. dissolved or particulate and how the samples were collected. i.e. Fe (dissolved)- CTD –Bottle or Fe (dissolved) – insitu pumps.
Could PI provide information on when samples are expected to be analysed so GDAC can estimate a data submission date
