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.
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.
New calibration tests between B/O Cornide de Saavedra and the B/O Miguel Oliver, by the results of the 2013 campaign Demersal, showing behavior too benthic.
Prospecting Scomber scombrus and Trachurus trachurus eggs and adult catches to estimate egg production and fecundity of Scomber scombrus for joint international evaluation of spawning stock biomass of mackerel by the method annual egg production (MPAH) and production eggs Trachurus.
A physical-geological mooring is installed at the East of Elephant Island in order to monitor the presence / absence of the Antarctic slope front on the south slope of the South Scotia Sea, and to study its role in the modification of intermediate waters of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. The addition of a sediment trap will study the flow of sediments associated with the dynamics of the area and identify terrigenous and biogenic composition. The data obtained will be used to optimize the model of the NASA Antarctic regional (within the project ECCO2/ECCO3), the results turn will allow us to analyze our data in a global context. This project complements ESASSI AC (POL2006-11139-C02-01/CGL). In an international context, this project complements AC ECCO2's Jet Propulsion Laboratory / California Institute of Technology, NASA (USA).
The objectives of the DETSUFA cruise (BIO Hespérides 04/03–17/03/2013) are (1) to evaluate the footprint in the seafloor of a series of earthquake-generated subaerial landslides that took place in Fiordo de Aysén, Chile, in 2007, which entered the seawater generating a number of destructive tsunamis which killed 10 and produced significant damage in the local infrastructure, (2) to reconstruct the morphology and dynamics of these landslides in order to obtain input data for tsunami modelling, and (3) to determine the occurrence of similar episodes in the past that might have generated other tsunamis, in order to establish a possible recurrence period of such events. The cruise fits within the global scientific interest stirred up by tsunamis in general, being the Fiordo de Aysén a highly relevant analogue for the understanding of this kind of events occurring in semi-enclosed basins such as fjords, lakes or water dams, which often harbour large human population and infrastructures.
