In this cruise the mooring lines deployed in April 2012 have been recovered. In addition communication between acoustic receivers and a deck unit has been tested. This is part of the international program OTN ("Ocean Tracking Network," in Spanish "Red de Seguimiento Oceánico"). This work is preparatory for the deployment of a curtain listening across the Strait of Gibraltar.

The goals of this campaign are framed within the objectives of the overall project 'Radial Profunda de Canarias', being the experimental cruise of the proposal. Thus, this cruise will help to: ¿ Determine the structure of the current when it reaches the Canary Islands, mass transport, heat and nutrients and interannual variability. ¿ Characterize the different modes of variability of heat and mass transport in easternorth atlantic subtropical gyre. ¿ Characterize the annual cycle in the physical conditions of the surface layers and mixture to where the seasonal cycle is significant, relating it to the meteorological forcings. ¿ Characterization of changes in water masses, mainly in the North Atlantic Central Water (NACW), in Antarctic Atlantic Intermediate Water (AAIW) in Mediterranean Water (MW) and bottom waters of the Canary Basin, in based on temperature, salinity, nutrients and oxygen.
