Coccolithophores are a diverse group of marine phytoplankton that produce external plates, or coccoliths, of calcium carbonate. They are widely distributed in all oceans except polar waters, and are the major and often dominant component of calcite of marine sediments. Their ecology and physiology are poorly known. This paper reports on the first of two cruises to investigate the productivity and biogeochemical significance of Emiliania huxleyi in the North Atlantic. This focused on optics and air-sea gas exchange and provides the general context for more detailed analyses of the observations on the CO2 system in surface waters and on the production of organic matter and calcium carbonate by coccolithophores. 74 refs., 13 figs., 1 tab.
