The R/V Roger Revelle, operated by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, conducted four cruises (RR06 through RR09) in Antarctic waters on behalf of the U.S. JGOFS Antarctic Environment and Southern Ocean Process Study (AESOPS). Research was conducted on the physical, chemical, and biological influences affecting the phytoplankton bloom, the temporal variability of blooms, and the apparent paradox of high fluxes of biogenic material to the sea bed in a region of low mean annual primary production. Cruises, for the most part, took place along a section at 170°
W, between October, 1997 and March, 1998.
RR06: AESOPS Spring Survey-I Timothy J. Cowles, Oregon State University, Chief Scientist The primary objective of the first cruise was to provide mesoscale resolution of the physical, chemical, and biological properties in and around the Antarctic Polar Front. Stations, moorings, drifters and SeaSoar surveys were combined with concurrent underway surface measurements to collect data on these properties and processes. RR06 Scientific Personnel

30'S along 170°
W, so the ice would not restrict access to the AESOPS study area as it had during Survey-I. The R/V Roger Revelle steamed south from 57°
S, towing the Oregon State University (OSU) SeaSoar and constructing real-time vertical cross-sections of temperature, salinity, density, large particle concentrations and a number of fluorescence parameters. In addition, underway surface water measurements of nutrients, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), metals, oxygen, salinity, phytoplankton species and abundance, chlorophyll, silicate uptake, dissolved organic carbon, fluorescence, currents and the meteorological parameters complimented the acquisition of SeaSoar data.

The purposes of the cruise were to characterize fall biogeochemical processes from north to south of the APFZ along the 170°
W transect, to determine whether the bloom had continued southward, and to compare pre-bloom, post-bloom and full bloom conditions, if possible.

Rick Reynolds S-261 Scripps Institution of Oceanography John Weiland S-261 Scripps Institution of Oceanography R/V YUZHMORGEOLOGIYA
The R/V Yuzhmorgeologiya was charted by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service to support activities of the U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR) field research program. Shipboard surveys were conducted on three legs in the AMLR study area between early January and early April 1998. A large-area survey was conducted on Leg I and again on Leg II, while Leg III was dedicated to a bottom trawl survey. Two major water zones were observed during the surveys on Legs I and II: "Drake Passage water" dominated the area north of Livingston island, which included new AMLR stations; "Bransfield Strait water" and transitional water were identified on the South Shetland continental slope and shelf. 1997/98 was the first full season of seabird research at Cape Shirreff and thus comparisons with prior years are not possible. However, based on mean breeding success from Admiralty Bay, approximately 140 kilometers (km) northeast on King George Island, the chinstrap penguin population had average and the gentoo penguin population above average breeding success. Pinniped studies at Cape Shirreff revealed that the total number of Antarctic Fur seal pups born at the Cape and San Telmo Islands during the 1997/98 breeding season was 7,748, which is a 14.1% decrease in pup production from the 1996/97 count of 9,015. At Palmer Station, 4,412 breeding pairs of Adelie penguins were observed at 54 sample colonies during the peak egg-laying period (24-29 November 1997), which was essentially unchanged from the number of breeding pairs (4,445) censused in November 1996. Adelie penguins exhibited a slight increased breeding success in the 1997/98 season, creching 1.58 chicks per pair, or 0.11 chicks more than were creched per pair in the 1996/97 season.
