In March and April of 1981 a major cruise was undertaken on the R/V
Atlantis II off the Peruvian coast near 15°S in order to investigate the sea-air
exchange of selected heavy metals and natural and anthropogenic organic
compounds. The purpose of this report is to collate the hydrographic,
nutrient, and plankton data generated from various investigators on this
cruise end to provide a standard of reference for the cruise participants.
Data for temperature, salinity, oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, axnmonium, phosphate,
silicate, chlorophyll a, particulate organic carbon, and particulate organic
nitrogen are given. In addition, air and sea temperatures, and wind speed and
direction data, collected using the SAIL system, are included.
