With funding through this Grant for Rapid Response Research (RAPID), a research team at the University of Miami, in collaboration with another team in Bermuda, will provide critical measurements of the carbonate parameters on the upcoming North Atlantic GEOTRACES cruises. These results will be vitally important in interpreting the trace metal studies. A secondary scientific objective is to provide additional measurements of salinity and density in the Atlantic Ocean. Similar measurements, made in the Pacific and Indian oceans, have been used in the 2010 International Thermodynamic Equation of Seawater (TEOS-10). This data will provide additional information on the study of the impact and influence of the carbon cycle on climate change and the workings of the ocean?s biogeochemical cycles. This research is part of a larger international effort to monitor the ocean's response to climate change. The originally proposed work was delayed because of the termination of the R/V Knorr cruise. RAPID funding is requested in order to complete the research and to prepare for a unique cruise that sails around the 5 November 2011 aboard the R/VKnorr. The broader impacts of these continuing measurements provide dissemination of data to enhance scientific and technological understanding to assess climate change. This work will be part of the dissertation research of a Ph.D. students. It will promote training and learning of graduate students as well as undergraduate students. Outreach activities will continue as opportunities arise. The results will be disseminated throughout the scientific community through resulting publications and the presentation of results at national and international meetings

借助快速响应研究补助金 (RAPID) 的资助，迈阿密大学的一个研究团队将与百慕大的另一个团队合作，为即将到来的北大西洋 GEOTRACES 航行提供碳酸盐参数的关键测量。这些结果对于解释痕量金属研究至关重要。第二个科学目标是提供大西洋盐度和密度的额外测量结果。在太平洋和印度洋进行的类似测量已用于 2010 年国际海水热力学方程 (TEOS-10)。这些数据将为研究碳循环对气候变化的影响和海洋生物地球化学循环的运作提供更多信息。这项研究是监测海洋对气候变化反应的更大国际努力的一部分。由于 R/V Knorr 邮轮的终止，原定的工作被推迟。为了完成研究并为 2011 年 11 月 5 日左右乘坐 R/VKnorr 航行的独特巡航做好准备，需要 RAPID 资金。这些持续测量的更广泛影响提供了数据传播，以增强评估气候变化的科学和技术理解。这项工作将是博士学位论文研究的一部分。学生。它将促进研究生和本科生的培训和学习。一旦有机会，外展活动将继续进行。研究结果将通过最终出版物以及在国家和国际会议上的结果介绍在整个科学界传播
