Hydrographical cruise W Iberian peninsula and Celtic-Cantabrian sea. 65 depth CTD, 2 RCM moorings, LADCP
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 for the period 2004-2006.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.
Abundance indices, distribution patterns and faunal assemblages of demersal species in the northern coast of Spain (Atlantic Galician shelf and Cantabrian sea shelf), together with the possible driving factors of their distribution. This survey belongs to the research project: ?Evaluacion de Recursos Demersales por Metodos Directos en el Area ICES?. This Project is partly funded by the DCR of the EU and the Education and Science Spanish Ministery.The main objectives of the above mentioned project related with this survey time series are: a) to obtain abundance indices of the main exploited species in the study area; b) to estimate the strength of yearly recruitments of these species and their distribution in the area. c) to study the structure and distribution o the demersal and benthic communities in the area.
