Monthly survey to study thermohaline and biological characterization of water masses in the East-North Atlantic.
The overall purpose in the planned INDEMARES-AVILÉS 0912 survey is the study of the structure and dynamics of complex deep canyons ecosystems systems of Avilés. In this sense include activities to: - Geomorphological study of the continental shelf area next to header Avilés Canyon. Includes multibeam mapping and sediment samples. - Estimation of the spatial distribution of hard bottom habitats and their environmental characteristics. - Estimating the abundance and spatial distribution of rocky epibenthic communities and cold water coral reefs. - Dynamics and characteristics of water bodies in the axes of the cannyon.
The cruise RadProf201209 is part of the timeseries program from the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) following international strategies for ocean climate monitoring (CLIVAR, GOOS etc). It covers a hydrographical section westwards of Cape Finisterre in Northwest Spain along the 43ºN latitude, extending c.a. 250 nm into the western Iberia basin. The sampling includes hydrography, current velocity fields and water samples collection for biogeopchemical analysis. It is planned the deployment of a mooring line at 43ºN; 11ºW, at a site where current measurements timeseries exist. RadProf201209 adds specific sampling of biogeochemical properties, organic matter and plankton in alliance with the research project BIOPROF.
