One minor study during the cruise is filtring of sea water. Sieves of 50 micrometer catch everthing which live and floate in water, i.e. mud particles, diatoms, dinoflagellate cysts, coccoliths and foraminifera. We will take water samples of 5 liter in different detphs, starting close to the sea surface and ending close to the sea floor in the 'bottom nepheloid layer'.
The results give information about the amount of turbidity in the water column, living planktonic micro-fauna and much more.
Let's see what it brings...
