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. • To determine the correlation between heat and mass transport with the NAO atmospheric and oceanic index. • 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.

TAlPro-2016 represents the Western Mediterranean basin component of the MedSHIP initiative. The cruise will occupy two meridional sections, one across the relatively flat and deep Algero-Provencal basin, and one across the deep and rugged Tyrrhenian Sea. The data collected during these sections will allow to: 1) measure the changes in the thermohaline properties of Mediterranean water masses at the basin-scale; 2) quantify the Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) storage in the Western Mediterranean Sea; 3) quantify the uptake of anthropogenic carbon in the Western Mediterranean Sea; 4) quantify changes in the ventilation of the deep and intermediate water masses thanks to the transient tracers (CFCs and SF6).

The main target of the "VULcanología CAnaria submariNA, VULCANA" project, is to study from a physicochemical, biological and geological point of view underwater volcanoes and hydrothermal systems active or not in the entire Canary basin. In addition, special attention will be given to the continuity of studies carried out in the Tagoro submarine volcano on the island of El Hierro, continuing like this, with one of the Longest physical-chemical-biological time series in the Spanish territory. The specific objectives of the Vulcana1119 campaign will be: 1. Continue with the physical-chemical monitoring studies of the only active underwater volcano in phase of degassing of the Spanish territory, Tagoro submarine volcano, on the island of El Hierro. 2. Determination of the speed of protein synthesis (estimate of production of new biomass) in planktonic microbial communities using the technique proposed by Smith and Azam in 1992.
