Overall objectives in the EU GO project are to assess the promising potential of seismic imaging for physical oceanography, in view of its combination of fine resolution and coverage unmatched by conventional oceanographic measurements. D318 was to provide the means of assessment by obtaining a unique, comprehensive, oceanographic and seismic dataset at the same time and place. Specific objectives for R.R.S. Discovery cruise 318a were to deploy four ADCP moorings, three adjacent temperature-logger moorings and STABLE, in an L-shape array in 750-1000m depth east of Portimao Canyon, carrying out adjacent CTD stations, deploy two OBH moorings, carry out seismic sections using the Ifremer high-frequency air-guns and streamer, accompanied by regular XBT and less frequent XCTD casts. In addition underway data was logged including ship-borne ADCP, surface temperature and salinity, meteorology, gravity and magnetics (to test new NERC magnetometers).

Conocimiento batimetrico y geof??sico de los caladeros de pesca que se encuentran o puedan ser detectados en aguas espa??olas en el area del Mar de Alboran. En la presente campa??a se finalizo el reconocimiento batimetrico del Mar de Alboran y se comenzo con el analisis del Golfo de Vera.
Estiamtion of the abundance of pelagic fish present in the North-east Atlantic waters in spring which is the spawning period for these fish species, but focussing in sardine and anchovy. Complementary to this main objective the survey design and strategies will allow the enviroment be characterised by recording differente variables (i. e. temperature, salinity, fluorescence, plankton, winds or air temperature) in vertical and horizontal profiles along the surveyed area with no noticeable extra-effort. As it was pointed out, these variables will help the acoustic estimations be improved whilst an extensive environment characterisation at the spawning time will be done.
