Biogeochemical datasets collected during the APERO Cruise

APERO proposes to take a new step towards the mechanistic understanding of the Biological Carbon Pump, from organic carbon production at the ocean surface, to its export and remineralization in the water column, focusing on the dark ocean. Through a comprehensive, multiscale (from sub meso to regional) multidisciplinary program, using the most recent methodological developments in autonomous sensors and platforms, in ’omics’ techniques, combining biological processes studies and developing innovative modeling approaches. BGC-Argo floats deployed during the Apero cruise are WMO :  4903739, 4903740, 6990580, 1902637 Gliders deployed during the Apero Cruise are WMO : 8900999, 8901023, 8901032  Related websites: Lefe CYBER website for Apero Cruise : https://www.obs-vlfr.fr/proof/php/APERO/apero.php  (contact: Catherine.schmechtig@imev-mer.fr)  Apero Cruise website :  https://www.aperocruise.fr/ ECOTAXA website : https://ecotaxa.obs-vlfr.fr/
