Objective	The ANTARES 4 cruise aimed to describe and quantify stocks and fluxes of biogenous matter (C, N, Si) produced in the euphotic layer and exported to the deep, to enable the modelling of the biological CO2 pump. The study zone fell between the Sub-Antarctic and Subtropical fronts in the Crozet-Kerguelen basin. In the biologically productive seasons, it forms a major CO2 sink in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean. This falls under the ANTARES programme (France-JGOFS). The study zone is that of Sub-Antarctic and Subtropical fronts in the Crozet-Kerguelen basin. It is bounded by 42 deg 30-46 deg 30S and 60 deg -66 deg E.

Summary of measurements

-Meso-scale characterization of the hydrodynamic structure of a meander in
circumpolar circulation using XBT (0-800 m), CTD (surface to bottom), TOWYO (0-
1200 m), GPS and ADCP profiles.
-Deployment of 2 CARIOCA buoys.
-Deployments and recoveries of an instrumented buoy fitted with a particle trap
set at a depth of 200 m.
-Numerous CTD profiles were made at different depths with various samples taken
(rosette with 24 Niskin 12 l bottles).
-A nutrient profiler was deployed (0-400 m).
-In situ pump casts, some down to the bottom (4 500 m).
-A towed optical plankton counter (OPCT)was deployed using a specially adapted
winch loaned by SHOM.
-Samples were taken with special large volume bottles (200 and 100 l) or those
adapted to green chemistry (iron enrichment experiments).
Net hauls.
Various incubations.
