The U.S. GEOTRACES North Atlantic zonal section cruise was scheduled for 15 October through 5 December 2010. Because of a major irresolvable mechanical failure of the ship's propulsion system, the expedition had to be terminated in the Cape Verde Islands on 4 November after completing about one third of the planned track. This required on-the-spot changes in return travel for all sea-going investigators as well as in shipping arrangements for all their samples and equipment. The funds requested in this proposal address the PI's need to cover travel and shipping cost associated with his participation in the continuation of the North Atlantic section cruise scheduled for autumn 2011. The travel costs would ensure that two people can participate in the second cruise, as well as for one person to travel to Woods Hole to demobilize the ship upon its return to port. Shipping costs are needed to get a shipboard container with analytical instrumentation, a CTD, and GO-FLO bottles to the ship and back to the University of Hawaii. Completing the analysis of dissolved Fe, Al, Cd, Mn, and Zn recovered from different oceanographic regimes of the North Atlantic Ocean would significantly further our understanding of the biogeochemical cycles of these elements in the marine environment.

美国GEOTRACES北大西洋分区巡航定于2010年10月15日至12月5日进行。由于该船的推进系统出现重大且无法解决的机械故障，该探险队在完成大约三分之一后，不得不于11月4日在佛得角群岛终止计划的轨道。 这需要对所有出海调查人员的回程以及所有样品和设备的运输安排进行现场更改。 本提案中要求的资金解决了 PI 需要支付的旅行和运输费用，该费用与他参加计划于 2011 年秋季继续进行的北大西洋航段航行有关。旅行费用将确保两个人可以参加第二次航行，因为以及一名人员前往伍兹霍尔，在船舶返回港口后将其复员。 将装有分析仪器、CTD 和 GO-FLO 瓶的船上集装箱运送到船上并返回夏威夷大学需要运输费用。 完成对从北大西洋不同海洋学状况中回收的溶解铁、铝、镉、锰和锌的分析将大大加深我们对这些元素在海洋环境中的生物地球化学循环的理解。
