The distribution of particulate matter is a sensitive                   indicator in surface and botton waters of physical and biological               processes such as primary production, upwelling, large-scale                    eddies, resuspension and advection of sediments, and boundary-                  layer mixing.  This proposal requests funding to participate on                 five (5) cruises in the South Atlantic Ventilation Experiment                   (SAVE) and a McCartney et al. hydrographic cruise in the South                  Atlantic to determine the three-dimensional distribution and size               spectra of particulate matter in the South Atlantic by                          interfacing a transmissometer with a CTD for hydrographic                       profiles and analyzing water samples for particle concentrations                and size distributions throughout the water column using a                      Coulter counter.  These data will be combi>ed with transects of                 transmissometer data collected this year during two other cruises               in the South Atlantic.  The particle data will be used >o                       determine the location and intensity of the processes mentioned                 above and will be correlated with other hydrographic data to                    study their causes and effects.
