The results are still under investigation. Also the Johan Hjort cruise was successful, though it turned out to be late winter rather than early spring conditions and consequently less biological activity. Ct, pCO2, alkalinity and pH were measured, and the data will be analysed by primo August. Analysis of the data for marine biology will take some more time. Anderson also underlined that the SF6 release gives good tracer for the carbon cycle.
All partners are on schedule.
The modellers will meet in Copenhagen 18 -19 August where they will discuss the work to be presented in Villefranche. The influence of the tracer release to modelling will be discussed in Copenhagen. There are still Management Asessment Sheets missing from some of the partners. Each will be contacted individually. Money for 1996 has been transferred from Brussel and will be transferred from Bergen as soon as possible.
