Conducting systematic sampling contemplated within the research project IEO oceanographic time series data in the Gulf of Cadiz.
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.
This survey main goal is to achieve the complete bathimetry of the designated area using multibeam echosounder EM710. After data procesing different DTM will be produced in order to characterize the area from a geomorphologic point of view. Sound velocity profiles will be carried out in order to obtain the best accuracy on the data adquired.
