The objective of this cruise is to collect data on sinking organic matter (carbon) in the surface waters (upper 300 m) of the Western Mediterranean Sea. Once the data is collected and analyzed it will be compared to the data, which is planned to be collected during a later cruise in the Western Atlantic Ocean.
