Summary of measurements

-110 CTD profiles 0/200 m, 31 CTD profiles 0/1,000 m taking samples with rosette at 12 levels.
-10 so-called "production" stations deploying a mooring line to measure in-situ production.
-63 transmissometry profiles.
-14 light penetration profiles.
-3 samples of surface micro-layer taken.
-One hundred samples taken in 30-litre Niskin bottles to measure primary production and heterotrophy.
-46 net hauls.
