Cruise description

This cruise was a success despite some bad weather at the beginning of the cruise as well as after Station Papa. The demands on wire time were slightly less than usual since many regular participants were in the Arctic this summer. This turned out to be a good thing considering the rough weather we encountered; Trace Metal rosette operations would have been tricky in these sea states.
In order to assess the state of the algal bloom that was detected along the coast of North America at the beginning of the summer we revisited some of the extra stations that were sampled in June during cruise 2015-009 (see "extra" files for data).
The regular sampling done during this cruise was completed using a CTD, a Rosette, the Bongo, and the Multiple Plankton Sampler (MPS or Multinet) to collect zooplankton to 3000 dbar at P12 and P16.
The Trace Metal sampling was performed by using the Teflon pump as well as the Go-flo bottles.
