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.

Get abundance indices of groundfish demersales species. Get the size structure of commercially exploited stocks. Collection of biological material. Prospecting deep zones. Get physical-chemical parameters of water in the study area. Calibration between the "B/O Michael Oliver" and the "B/O Cornide Saavedra" Demersal campaign Gulf of Cadiz
Campaign for sampling GIFT series in which to analyze physicochemical variables that will: - Monitor thermohaline and biogeochemical characteristics of the water masses converge in the Strait of Gibraltar - Study of the flow of carbon greenhouse gases, methane and nitrous oxide from the Atlantic and Mediterranean and the processes involved in its regulation. - Evaluation of the exchange of CO2, CH4 and N2O ocean-atmosphere.
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.

The campaign has two objectives: 1. Making a mesh of CTD's in the Ibiza channel and radial RADMED in Mallorca Channel. 2. The launch drifter of the Ibiza channel for the program SOCIB Drifter Facility.
Stoca-F is a specific part of the STOCA project to do maintenance to the "ESPEE" mooring of Espartel (Gibraltar), verifing it´s sensors with the readings of a CTD and replacing batteries.
