The deployment crossed the North Atlantic at high latitude to conduct a high-resolution sampling transect of mesozooplankton, marine "snow" (biogenic aggregates), and environmental variables from the northwestern UK shelf to southern Greenland via a route south of Iceland, thence south across the Labrador Sea and the Grand Banks to the slope water south of Nova Scotia, Canada, to Woods Hole, MA. It was the transatlantic maiden voyage of the Schmidt Ocean Institute's (SOI) new research vessel, R/V Falkor.
