Oceanography during TYDEMAN cruise DCM (DeepChlorMax) to the Equatorial Atlantic

The cruise with RV Tydeman was devoted to study permanently stratified plankton systems in the (sub)tropical ocean, which are characterised by a deep chlorophyll peak between 80 and 150 m. To minimise lateral effects by horizontal transport of nutrients and organic matter from river outflow and upwelling regions, stations were selected in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean between the continents of America and Africa. (5 - 35° N and 50 - 15° W). Here the vertical distributions of light and nutrients control the abundance and growth of autotrophic algae in the thermically stratified water column. This phytoplankton is numerically dominated by the prokaryotic picoplankters Synechococcus spp. and Prochlorococcus spp., which are smaller than 2 ?m. The productivity of the 100 to 150 m deep euphotic zone can be high, because a high heterotrophic/autotrophic biomass ratio induces a rapid regeneration of nutrients and inorganic carbon. Primary grazers are mainly micro-organisms such as heterotrophic nannoflagellates and ciliates, which feed on the small algae and on bacteria. Heterotrophic bacteria can outnumber the autotrophic algae, because their number is related to the substrate pools of dissolved and particulate dead organic matter. These DOC and detritus pools reach equilibrium at a concentration, where the rate of their production (proportional to algal biomass) equals their mineralisation and sinking rate (proportional to the concentration and weight of POC and detritus). At a relatively low value of the weight-specific loss rates, the equilibrium concentration of these carbon pools and their load of bacteria can be high. The bacterial productivity is proportional to the mineralisation rate, which in a steady state can never be higher than the rate of primary production. Hence the ratio in turnover rate of bacteria and autotrophs tends to be reciprocally proportional to their biomass ratio.

La organización fuera de control

El objetivo general de este trabajo de investigación será relacionar los modelos de las configuraciones básicas de Henry Mintzberg (1991) con diversos funcionamientos afines a estructuras mentales, y donde generamos las siguientes hipótesis de trabajo: Si la cumbre estratégica está fuera de control, podremos predecir un funcionamiento organizacional histérico. Si la está tecnoestructura está fuera de control, podremos predecir un funcionamiento organizacional obsesivo. Si la línea media está fuera de control, podremos predecir un funcionamiento organizacional depresivo. Si el núcleo operativo está fuera de control, podremos predecir un funcionamiento organizacional paranoide. Si el staff de apoyo está fuera de control, podremos predecir un funcionamiento organizacional esquizoide. La metodología utilizada para esta investigación se basó en el relevamiento de diversas fuentes de información, principalmente de autores que han desarrollado algunos conceptos de psicología organizacional tales como Danny Miller y Ketz de Vries (1984), y han sido incorporados al funcionamiento organizacional de Mintzberg (1991); teorizando fallas paramétricas de diseño que llevasen a “funcionamientos" mentales específicos a los diferentes tipos de configuraciones organizacionales
