Summer Campaign at the Kerguelen Archipelago

Antarctic
Polar Zone: Southern Ocean (subantarctic area of the Indian sector)
Begin date: 10/1998 – end date: 12/1998

  • Title: Summer Campaign at the Kerguelen Archipelago
  • Summary: Survey of partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) and related parameters in the subantarctic area and coastal waters of the Kerguelen Archipelago.
  • Vessel: R.V. Marion Dufresne / R.V. La Curieuse/ French Station of Kerguelen Island

Belgian projects

  • Title: BELCANTO I - An Integrated Approach to Assess Carbon Dynamics in the Southern Ocean
  • S ummary: During two months we measured pCO2 in the waters surroundings Kerguelen Archipelago, which exhibits strong dynamics in term of inorganic carbon. We mainly use the R.V. La curieuse from the French Polar Institute which size (25 m ) seems disproportionate compared to the roaring forties.
  • Participants: Dr Bruno Delille
