8What do we plan to do during KEOPS?
I- To apply grazing experiments to natural
phyto- and mesozoo-plankton communities
III- Without addition of 55Fe, same experiments
to study the effect on porphyrine concentrations
and DMS/DMSP and other biogenic gases
9What do we need during KEOPS?
1- Clean seawater (Go-Flo) 40 L / experiment
various size-fractionations 0.02-0.2-0.8-2-20-2
00-500 µm
2- Mesozooplankton grazing experiments net
towing (200 µm-500 µm)
3- Clean radioactive container (laminar flow
hood)
4- Access to the trace-metal clean container
(cleaning and preparation)
5- A place with binocular for zooplankton sorting
(in situ temperature)
6- Liquid scintillation counter
7- Deck-Incubators
