Published purpose

This project seeks to deploy an automated phytoplankton imaging sensor, and a system to measure surface water concentrations of dimethylsulfide (DMS). In collaboration with the Chilean Antarctica21 Foundation (A21) and the Chilean Antarctic Institute (INACH), the University of British Columbia proposes to install automated oceanographic sensors on board the passenger vessel, Magellan Discoverer, for long-term observations of surface ocean properties along the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP).
