Monthly survey to study thermohaline and biological characterization of water masses in the East-North Atlantic.
SUMMARY:The project PLATERIAS financed by Xunta de Galicia in its sectoral program of Tecnoloxias Ambientais has as objective the study of the physical oceanography of the continental shelf and rias of Galicia by means of the development and integration of the existent observation network and the demonstration of the feasibility of the modelizacion of the dynamics of the rias of Galicia and the adjacent shelf by means of a hydrodynamic model coupled to a meteorological mesoscale regional and local high resolution model. This campaign is intended to contribute to the knowledge of the interaction between the rias and the shelf. OBJECTIVES:-To study the interaction between the rias and the shelf, particularly in the Ria de Ares.- Recovery a mooring in the channel in order to characterize the incoming and outgoing flow of the ria.- Performance of transects of CTD profiles across the main channel in the mouth of the ria to characterize the ria-shelf exchanges.

Oceanographic survey collected in the framework of the following research project: INTERCAMBIOS EN EL ESTRECHO DE GIBRALTAR Y SU RESPUESTA A FORZAMIENTOS METEOROLOGICOS Y CLIMATICOS, INGRES (REN03-01608/MAR). This Project is funded by the Education and Science Spanish Ministery.The technical objetive of the mission is to recover and to deploy a mooring system in a monitoring station (Espartel) in the Strait of Gibraltar to estimate the Mediterranean Outflow accurately (ADCP based observations) and the Atlantic Inflow into the Mediterranean Sea, with the help of indirect estimators and incomplete currentmeter data sets
