Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:
TRAFFIC - Transatlantic Fluxes of Saharan Dust is a project consisting of four transatlantic research cruises meant to monitor and collect Saharan dust that is dispersed across the Atlantic Ocean. The final objective is to study the marine environmental effects of mineral dust deposition. Cruise M89 was the first of these four cruises, during which five stations were visited at which water- and sediment samples were taken as well as moorings were deployed. These moorings will yield time series of sediment deposition as well as oceanographic data for an initial period of one year. During consecutive cruises, this times series will be expanded. In addition, meteorological data --including cloud observations and measurements and Cloud Condensation Nuclei measurements-- were collected by two students from the Max-Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany.
