The goals of this campaign are framed within the objectives of the overall project 'Sevacan', 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.
