TIME-TABLE FOR BIOMASS 



variability in space and time. Operations will concentrate on the Atlantic sector but include 

 Drake Passage and its western approaches. Current marine research activities in the Antarctic 

 should be used as far as possible to prepare the ground for this first BIOMASS experiment. Data 

 analysis will be carried out in conjunction with field work, laboratory studies and modelling. 

 Small groups of specialists will need to meet to plan seagoing and shore-based experiments, and 

 to develop methodology, data handling and modelling concepts. An interim synthesis of data 

 and results should be presented at specialized workshops from 1979 onwards and at a small 

 symposium in 1982. The complete results should be ready for presentation at a major 

 symposium in about 1986.
