    The viewer allows to visualize interactively the zooplankton biomass data obtained monthly in the RADIALES cruises (called RADCAN or RCAN cruises for those carried out since 2013 at the three Cantabrian transects: Santander, Gijón, and Cudillero). The layout displays a sidebar, where you can select the desired option for a series of variables (station, year, plot type, …) and a main panel where the graphs are displayed. It is organized into four tabs: [1] ‘Plot’ displays data from one single station (the complete list of the stations and their geographic coordinates are in https://seriestemporales-ieo.net, and are represented on a map in the fourth tab of this viewer). [2] ‘multipanel’ lays out together in the same figure the individual plots of all the stations, allowing for comparison among them. It allows to select the plot type. [3] ‘Sampling dates’ shows graphically the months, from the starting of the project, with zooplankton biomass data available. [4] 'Stations Map' displays the map with the positions of all stations.

    The area in between the Audierne and St. Nazaire canyons (Gascogne) along the Armorican margin was one of the areas where the "massifs coralliens" were described for the very first time. Within the framework of the HERMES (EC FP6), MiCROSYSTEMS (ESF) and GeNeSis (FWO) projects, this area will be surveyed using multibeam and high resolution seismics during LEG 1. Based on this site survey, the ROV Genesis will be deployed to carry out detailed mapping of these deep-water "hot-spots". Also the hydrography and sediment dynamics of this area will be studied with respect to the steering of the present ecosystems. LEG 2 will focus on the Galicia bank. This location has been assigned as reference area within the ESF project BIOFUN. In addition to a bathymetric and seismic surveying, also biological sampling and experiments are planned here.

    Participation in validating the CAROLS airborne L band radiometer, during flights on ATR42. CTD/LADCP stations performed on repeated sections around the Bay of Biscay and calibration of CTD tags intended for deployment on sea elephants.

    This equipment trials cruise has provided opportunities for test and verification of technology under development at the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory (POL), the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) and the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (NOC,S). This includes equipment developed during the first year of funding under OCEANS 2025 (theme 8). Testing technology in the ocean environment is invaluable in assessing fitness for purpose. Specifically, the cruise tested: A Spar wave buoy (NOC,S) biogeochemical sensors (NOC,S); an UAV system (NOC,S); a video grab system "HyBis" (NOC,S), A benthic Multicore (NOC,S), A benthic lander and associated torroidal Telemetry buoy (POL), and a shallow tow towfish (POL). Testing in Spanish waters (near Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura) has been invaluable. The time on passage has been minimised (the transition from deep to shallow water is less than a days steaming) and the calm conditions to the southwest of the islands in the consistent prevailing north easterly winds have enabled deployment and recovery techniques to be tried and optimised in safety.
