©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.The Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) of the spring bloom in the North Atlantic will begin in 1989. This study will be conducted along longitude 20oW from the beginning of April through August. The significance of this first U.S. JGOFS experiment revolves around the large biological signals in the plankton and the hypothesized importance of these large signals to the overall yield of the system. This is a Level-1 component of the U.S. contribution to JGOFS for the measurement of primary production during the processes-oriented cruises of the North Atlantic Experiment. Primary production measurements will be conducted in situ, using metal-clean techniques.
