Description
AESOPS (Antarctic Environment Southern Ocean Process Study) is a multidisciplinary program designed to address three broad objectives: to quantify the net flux of carbon dioxide between the ocean and atmosphere and its seasonal variability, to evaluate the factors that lead to phytoplankton blooms in both the Ross Sea and the antarctic polar front, and to understand the controls on production and fate of biogenic material
in these regions. To complete these objectives, a series of four process studies on the R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer were conducted on the Ross Sea continental shelf (as well as a benthic cruise).
The cruises were completed during the winter-spring transition, the spring bloom, summer conditions, and the autumnwinter transition. This article describes preliminary results from the first process study
in these regions. To complete these objectives, a series of four process studies on the R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer were conducted on the Ross Sea continental shelf (as well as a benthic cruise).
