OBJECTIVES AND BRIEF NARRATIVE OF CRUISE   enter sufficient information about the purpose and nature of the  cruise so 
                                                                                                               as to provide the context in which the report data were collected.
The goal of this project was to investigate the distribution of plankton and biogeochemical processes in relation to the oxygen minimum zone in the eastern tropical north Pacific Ocean. 

     									

PROJECT (IF APPLICABLE)  if the cruise is designated as part of a larger scale cooperative project (or expedition), then enter the name of the project, and of organisation responsible for co-ordinating the project.

Project name:     Eastern Tropical Pacific

Coordinating body:      

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS: Enter the name and address of the Principal Investigators responsible for the data collected on the cruise and who may be contacted for furtherinformation about the data. (The letter assigned below against each Principal Investigator is used on pages 2 and 3, under the column heading ‘PI‘, to identify the data sets for which he/she is responsible)

Kendra Daly, University of South Florida (Chief scientist)
Karen Wishner, University of Rhode Island
Brad Seibel, University of Rhode Island

MOORINGS, BOTTOM MOUNTED GEAR AND DRIFTING SYSTEMS

This section should be used for reporting moorings, bottom mounted gear and drifting systems (both surface and deep) deployed and/or recovered during the cruise. Separate entries should be made for each location (only deployment positions need be given for drifting systems). This section 
may also be used to report data collected at fixed locations which are returned to routinely in order to construct ‘long time series‘.

DATA TYPE

DESCRIPTION	
		
Identify, as appropriate, the nature of the data and of the instrumentation/sampling gear and list the parameters measured. Include any supplementary information that may be appropriate, e. g. vertical or horizontal profiles, depth horizons, continuous recording or discrete samples, etc. For samples taken for later analysis on shore, an indication should be given of the type of analysis planned, i.e. the purpose for which the samples were taken.
