Objective | Mission to characterize the non-living environment in the lagoon surrounding the town of Suva at the end of the hot season. · Characterization of physical chemical distribution in the lagoon's waters. · Determining the distribution of particulate and dissolved matter concentrations. The related program is IRD- Camelia Research Unit. Comments on the cruise's progression: CTD profiles and water samples were taken at a set of 59 stations to analyze physical-chemical characteristics (dissolved and particulate nutrients, chloropigments). During 2 cycles of 25 hours, located at stations S43 and S12, CTD profiles were recorded every half hour and water samples taken hourly in order to analyze the physical-chemical characteristics 3 meters from the surface and from the bottom, providing time-series sampling of the water mass. |
