MOOSE_GE cruises: phytoplankton pigments

The MOOSE-GE cruises aim to provide an annual summer snapshot of the North-Western Mediterranean Sea basin, to observe changes in water mass properties, biogeochemical content and changes in planktonic biodiversity. These cruises are part of the national MOOSE program (Mediterranean Ocean Observing System for the Environment) funded by CNRS-INSU and the Research Infrastructure ILICO (French Ministry). Each year, samples are analyzed for phytoplankton pigments by the national analytical service, SAPIGH. The SAPIGH platform (based at IMEV, Villefranche/Mer) is certified by INSU-CNRS. It is dedicated to HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) measurement of phytoplankton pigments (chlorophylls and carotenoids) in the marine environment (https://lov.imev-mer.fr/web/facilities/sapigh/)

MOOSE-GE航次旨在获取西北地中海海域的年度夏季观测快照，用以监测水团属性、生物地球化学组分的变化以及浮游生物多样性的演变。本航次隶属于国家级MOOSE计划（地中海环境海洋观测系统，Mediterranean Ocean Observing System for the Environment），该计划由法国国家科研中心-国家宇宙科学研究所（CNRS-INSU）以及法国部委资助的研究基础设施ILICO支持。每年，国家级分析服务机构SAPIGH都会对采集的样本开展浮游植物色素的检测分析。SAPIGH分析平台设于维尔弗朗什港（Villefranche/Mer）的IMEV内，该平台获得了CNRS-INSU的认证，其专注于采用高效液相色谱（HPLC，High Performance Liquid Chromatography）技术，测定海洋环境中的浮游植物色素（包括叶绿素与类胡萝卜素），相关详情可参考链接：https://lov.imev-mer.fr/web/facilities/sapigh/
