| Zusammenfassung |
| The objectives of the BIOSOPE (BIogeochemistry and Optics SOuth Pacific
Experiment) project was to study, during the austral summer, the biological,
biogeochemical and bio-optical properties of different trophic regimes in
the South East Pacific: the eutrophic zone associated with the upwelling
regime off the Chilean coast, the mesotrophic area associated with the plume
of the Marquises Islands in the HNLC (High Nutrient Low Chlorophyll) waters
of this subequatorial area, and the extremely oligotrophic area associated
with the central part of the South Pacific Gyre (SPG). At the end of 2004, a
55-day international cruise with 32 scientists on board took place between
Tahiti and Chile, crossing the SPG along a North-West South-East transect.
This paper describes in detail the objectives of the BIOSOPE project, the
implementation plan of the cruise, the main hydrological entities
encountered along the ~8000 km South East Pacific transect, and ends
with a general overview of the 32 other papers published in this
special issue. |
