CE0807 Celtic Sea "North Atlantic Ocean Oceanographic Survey

This survey was carried out by the Marine Institute and National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) in May 2008 on board the R.V. Celtic Explorer along the Irish Continental Shelf. It was a collaborative multi-disciplinary research effort between the Earth and Ocean Sciences department of NUI, Galway and the Marine Institute. The objectives of the survey were to Occupy a set of standard Hydrographic transects across the Irish continental Shelf to both provide data for climate status reports for ICES and other bodies, as well as to study the bio-geochemistry of Irish Shelf waters in relation to Plankton ecology and also Carbon cycling (and associated ocean acidification aspects).

Celtic Explorer）科研考察船沿爱尔兰大陆架海域实施。本次调查是爱尔兰高威国立大学地球与海洋科学系与爱尔兰海洋研究所联合推进的多学科研究项目。本次调查的目标为布设横跨爱尔兰大陆架的标准水文断面，一方面为国际海洋考察理事会（International Council for the Exploration of the Sea, 简称ICES）及其他机构的气候状况报告提供数据支撑，另一方面开展爱尔兰陆架海域生物地球化学研究，探讨其与浮游生物生态学、碳循环（及相关海洋酸化相关方向）的关联。本次调查的目标为布设横跨爱尔兰大陆架的标准水文断面，一方面为国际海洋考察理事会及其他机构的气候状况报告提供数据支持，同时开展爱尔兰陆架海域生物地球化学研究，探讨其与浮游生物生态学、碳循环（及相关海洋酸化相关问题）的关联。
