Objectives :
The aim of the MATER research project is to co-ordinate physical
and chemical oceanographic observations on the subsurface (both intermediate and
deep) water mass formation and spreading to the assessment of the biogeochemical
processes controlling their signatures, which allow their pathways in the
Mediterranean sub basins to be traced. The Work Pakage 3 Multidisciplinary
studies in the Adriatic Ionic Subbasin, in particular is focused on the area
including the Southern Adriatic and the Northern part of the Ionian basin.
The main purposes of the eigthth cruise were: - to carry out
a seasonal hydrological survey; - to achieve time series collection of downward
particle fluxes and current measurements (2 recovery and 1 deployment of
moorings); to carry out in-situ primary production measurements and short-term
export experiments from the photic layer with drifting traps in different
areas.

| SEA/OCEAN : Coded Region : 28h, 28i | Local Name: Ionian and Adriatic Sea |
Geographical Limits :

Description of the field observations :
1) hydrology: CTD profiles, water sampling for chemical (D.O., nutrients,
suspended matter, alkalinity, DOC, natural isotopes, etc.) and biological analyses
(chlorophyll a, phytoplankton standing crop and taxonomy, picoplankton and
bacteria production);
2) primary production in situ incubation coupled with drifting trap
experiments;
3) recovery and deployment of moorings;
4) sediment sampling for investigations on sedimentary organic matter trough analyses of org C, N, biogenic silica, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids.
