Instalación y revisión de líneas de fondeo de instrumentaión oceanográfica.

The main objective is that students of MIOUCA become familiar with some of the techniques that can be used aboard a research vessel. To do this, aboard the "B / O Angeles Alvariño" of the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO), students will perform a series of activities that will enable the characterization of the water column and seabed, from a point of view multidisciplinary and integrative (biological, physical, chemical and geological), along two radial one perpendicular to the Cape Trafalgar and another perpendicular to the Guadalquivir River. To obtain the information necessary to perform this study different sampling techniques will be used, and data acquisition and analysis, and ship with their own computers. In this way the campaign will contribute to a comprehensive education of students in the multidisciplinary study of an oceanic region, with the participation of teachers in different areas of knowledge.

· Ampliación de la formación de los técnicos, en especial en el uso de rosetas/CTD, SBL y sondas. · Familiarización de los técnicos con el buque Ángeles Alvariño y su equipamiento. · Comprobar el funcionamiento de los equipos electrónicos/informáticos del buque. · Realización de los ejercicios de seguridad mensuales, incluyendo nocturnos, que se intercalarán entre las pruebas de equipos.

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.

To determine the degree of connectivity of the sardine populations in the south of the Iberian Peninsula.

Main targets: · ESTOC Observatory service - FixO3. · ESTOC time-series - Winter sampling. · Coastal observatory sampling. · Time Serie for environmental control of the PLOCAN test bed.

Multidisciplinary cruise: Sampling physical and chemical variables that will: - Study thermohaline characteristics, kinematics, dynamics and biology of the eastern half of the Gulf of Cadiz - Establish relationships between climate, hydrology and hydrodynamics and the early stages of development of the species associated with the platform, with emphasis on species of commercial interest in a space/time. - Provide data to feed global and regional numerical models. - Generate and distribute a database for the evolution of the marine climate and its resources.
