Cruise Objective:   Examine the relationships between growth rate, grazing
                    mortality, and relative abundance for two
                    pico-phytoplankton
                    groups (Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus) over the
                    well-defined seasonal cycle these two groups experience
                    in surface waters of the Sargasso Sea.
