Abstract

This cruise was the first of a series within a 3-year contract, BENGAL, funded under the MAST III programme of the EU and running from February 1996. BENGAL has the general objective of understanding how the physics, chemistry and biology of the abyssal boundary layer respond to, and modify, the incoming chemical signal from the overlying surface layers and thus affect the palaeoceanographic record in the underlying sediment. The specific area chosen for this study, centred on 48°50′N: 16°30′W in the Porcupine Abyssal Plain, is known to be affected by a regular seasonal deposition of phytodetritus arriving on the bottom in May-June each year. The BENGAL programme therefore intends to follow the temporal changes associated with this phenomenon in a series of cruises within a single 12-month period from March 1997 to March 1998. Discovery Cruise 222 (Leg 2) was a lead-in cruise to this series.
