Multidisciplinary cruise: Sampling physical and chemical variables that will: - Study thermohaline characteristics, kinematics, dynamics and biology of the eastern half of the Gulf of Cadiz - Establish relationships between climate, hydrology and hydrodynamics and the early stages of development of the species associated with the platform. - Provide data to feed global and regional numerical models. - Generate and distribute a database for the evolution of the marine climate and its resources.
The campaign targets under INCOECO 1012, to carry on board the research vessel Angeles Alvariño, are the identification and mapping of habitats and characterization of biogenic benthic and demersal species. Specific objectives focus on the investigation of benthic Bank area of La Concepción by direct and visual methods. Specifically: · Intensive videogrammetry HD visual and sampling with ROV Liropus 2000 · Extensive visual videogrammetry HD with sled towed "APHIA 2012". · Study epibenthic fauna through the use of beam trawl, to capture sessile and reduced mobility fauna in shallow soft bottoms and rock, and rock dredge for qualitative sampling of wildlife sessile hard bottom fauna. · Study of the endobenthic fauna by use of the meso mud dredge box-corer. · Recognition with multibeam bathymetric and TOPAS parametric probe.

Monthly survey to study thermohaline and biological characterization of water masses in the East-North Atlantic.
To estimate nitrogen (NH4+, NO2-, NO3-), phosphate and silicate fluxes in the Strait of Gibraltar, to quantify and characterise the fluxes of particulate organic carbon and nitrogen (POC/PON) and to estimate of picoplankton, nanoplankton and microplankton biomass distribution in the Strait of Gibraltar To describe the hydrological structure and the geochemical fields of the region of the Gulf of Cadiz, particularly at the levels influenced by the Mediterranean waters, in order to set a background for interpreting the dynamics of the Outflow
- El proyecto RADMED-DOS tiene como objetivo general la monitorización multidisciplinar de las aguas de plataforma y talud continental del Mediterráneo, incluyendo tanto el litoral peninsular como las Islas Baleares.
