This project was a hydrographic section at latitude 24°N, with physical, chemical and biological measurements. The section was a complete section from continent to continent from North America (Caribbean) to Africa (off the coast of the Western Sahara). The section started and ended in 200 metres water depth, at the edge of the continental shelf. This was a contribution to the international CLIVAR/Carbon repeat hydrography program (http://ioc3.unesco.org/ioccp/Hydrography/New_GlobalMap.html). Climate change will be studied by comparing the new data with historical measurements. Ocean heat transport plays a major role in the coupled ocean-atmosphere climate system. We will study the present-day circulation by calculating the heat and freshwater transported by the ocean across the 24°N latitude. The ocean western boundary current system, in this case the Gulf Stream flowing through the Florida Strait, plays a crucial role in the oceanic heat transport. Therefore a crossing of the Florida Strait will be carried out to establish the status of this important ocean feature. All data arising from the cruise will be lodged and made available via the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC), UK.

This was the fourth and last cruise undertaken as part of the NERC-funded consortium project (NE/C512961/1) entitled ECOMAR - Ecosystem of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at the Sub-Polar Front and Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone. http://www.oceanlab.abdn.ac.uk/ecomar/index.php ECOMAR forms part of the Census of Marine Life MAR-ECO project which is an international study of life in the northern mid-Atlantic Ocean with scientists from 16 nations participating in research of the waters around the mid-Atlantic Ridge from Iceland to the Azores (http://www.mar-eco.no). Depart: Wednesday, 26 May, St Johns, Newfoundland, Canada. Long term moorings were recovered at four super stations at a bottom depth of 2500m equipped with sediment traps, current meters, ADCP and sensor suites, SE - 49°01.92'N, 27°40.82'W, SW - 48°46.80'N, 28°38.43'W, NW - 53°59.33'N, 36°07.39'W and NE 54°00.05'N 34°10.58'W. Video and still images of the sea floor were obtained during 4 lander deployments and 21 ISIS ROV dives. Faunas samples were taken on 17 of these ROV dives, further samples from 13 successful megacorer casts and 4 baited traps. High definition video sea floor surveys were completed of approximately 50,000 m2 of sea floor. Arrive: Vigo, Spain, Saturday 3 July 2010.
