    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).
