Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:

Study the shape of organic-matter and (bio)mineral particle flux as well as mechanisms that influence production, vertical and lateral transport of particles, their transformation and sequestration in the Cape Blanc Upwelling area. - Determine carbonexport flux succession in the active upwelling and in upwelling filaments get a better understanding of the major underlying processes influencing production and degradation. - Determine the rate of production as well as vertical and lateral transport of different POM particles of known origin. - Determine the alteration of organic matter based proxy signals in relationship to transportation and transformation of their proxy carriers in the water column, notably within nepheloid layers. - Determination of the age and relationship of/between DOM and POM. - Determination the production and degradation rates of differential polysaccharids
