The overall objective of the cruise was to perform a systematic geophysical survey. Particularly its main aim is to get a complete sea-floor coverage.The investigation is the result of a co-operation between the Royal Observatory (ROA) and the Hidrographic Institute (IHM) (both from the Spanish Navy) under the control of the General Technical Secretary of the Spanish Dpt of Defense. (SEGENTE), with the collaboration of several other Spanish institutions and universities.The cruise started on Sept. 19th at Cadiz. Gordon's Tropical storm as well as some tecnical problems related with the multi-beam echo sounder (Simrad EM-120) conditioned its kicked-off. This technical failure limited us to work at shallow waters, changing so our initial planning. Finally we ended at Coru?a on October 9th.
The overall objective of the cruise was to perform a systematic geophysical survey. The principal aim is to obtain complete bathymetric sea-floor coverage. There are other geophysical data obtained during the cruise, whose acquisition is compatible with the navigation requirements of the multibeam survey, such as gravity, geomagnetic and ultra-high resolution seismic data (TOPAS system).This project is the result of a cooperation between the Instituto Hidrografico de la Marina (IHM, Hydrographic Institution of the Spanish Navy) and the Real Observatorio de la Armada (ROA, Royal Observatory of the Spanish Navy), under the control of the Secretaría General Técnica del Ministerio de Defensa (SEGENTE, General Technical Secretary of the Spanish Defense Department), whith the collaboration of several other institutions and universities.The cruise started on August 29th at Cartagena and finished at La Coruña on September 13th. It was planned in order to cover two bathymetric charts (G17 and G18) to the NW of Galicia, but the bad weather led to complete only bathymetric chart G17 and partially G18.
