Historical series of oceanographic data in the Vigo Estuary and adjacent platform.
The general objective of the RADMED-DOS project is the multidisciplinary monitoring of the platform and deep waters of the Mediterranean, the peninsular coast and the Balearic Islands.

Multidisciplinary campaing for mooring instruments and adquiring samples and variables to: * Know the thermohaline, kinematic, dynamic and biological characteristics of the Gulf of Cadiz. * Study of carbon fluxes between the Atlantic and Mediterranean. * Linking climatology, hydrology and hydrodynamics and the early stages of development of the species associated with the platform, with a focus on species of fishing interest. * Provide data to feed global and regional numerical models. * Generate and distribute a database to know the evolution of marine climate and its resources.
The objective of the project RADIALES, started in 1990, aims at “understanding and modelling the response of the marine ecosystem to the sources of temporal variability in oceanographic and planktonic components, focusing on those factors and processes affecting biological production and potentially altering the ecosystem services”. This project is the oldest multidisciplinary ocean observation initiative still active in Spain.
The goals of this survey are framed within the educational activity of the Faculty of Marine Sciences ULPGC to give the possibility of a complete oceanographic study (Physical , Chemical , Biological and Geological Survey ) in the south and north-east of Gran Canaria students of Degree, Bachelor and Master , the convergence zone between the area and the trail of the island and the presence of permanent rotation south of it. Thus this survey will contribute to a comprehensive training for students in oceanographic study of an oceanic region may Determine the structure of water bodies, the effects of convergence and divergence to the passage of the Canary Current across the channels between islands, mass transport , and nutrients. Determine the distribution of chemical species , including oxygen and carbon dioxide system and quantify the transport of CO2 in the atmosphere-ocean study area , the effect of micro and mesoscale phenomena in their distribution. To characterize the effect of the wake , turns and other mesoscale structures in the distribution of species of phytoplankton and zooplankton.
