IEO 0574
Caracterización termohalina y biogeoquímica en las aguas oceánicas de la región Galicia-Cantábrico en tres transectos estándar perpendiculares a la costa en Finisterre, Ortegal y Cabo Mayor cubriendo la columna de agua hasta unos 5000m. Dichos transectos forman parte de la serie temporal de campañas semestrales iniciada en 2003 que se encuadran en la estrategia de monitorización oceánica asociados a los principios del programa internacional CLIVAR..

Hidrology and ecosystem evaluation
The objectives of this cruise are framed on the project "Radial Profunda de Canarias (RAPROCAN-II)". This Project is funded by the Instituto Español de Oceanografía and the main scientific objectives are: a)Characterize the different ways of variability of heat and mass transport at the eastern end of the subtropical gyre. b)Determine the structure of current that reaches the Canary Islands, their mass transport, heat and nutrients and their interannual variability. c)Determine the correlation between heat and mass transport with the atmospheric and oceanic NAO index. d)Characterize the annual cycle in the physical condition of the surface and mixed layers as far as the seasonal cycle is significant, relating to meteorological forcing. e)Characterize of changes in water masses, mainly in the North Atlantic Central Water (NACW), Intermediate Water (AAIW), Mediterranean Water (MW) and bottom water of the Canary basin, studying their characteristics of temperature, salinity, nutrients and oxygen.
