This transect from Suva, Fiji to Honolulu, Hawaii was
the inagural cruise of the Center for Microbial Oceanography:
Research and Education (C-MORE). Some of the many goals were: (1)
to identify prominent trends in plankton biomass, biomass structure,
and elemental stoichiometry, (2) to examine latitudinal variability in
upper ocean concentrations of colored dissolved organic matter and
trace metal ligands, (3) to isolate new Prochlorococcus strains,
(4) to optically determine upper ocean biogeochemical variables, (5) to
study the distribution, production and loss rates of dissolved hydrogen
and its relationship to nitrogen fixation, (6) to study viral diversity
along biogeochemical gradients, (7) to assay spatial distributions of
microbial community structure based on rRNA fingerprinting and
sequencing, and (8) to assess spacial variability in photophysiological
responses to photoautotrophs.
