BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

PRICO Cruise (29HE19970501) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 1997, The transition subduction - Transforming area on the northern edge of the Caribbean plate and its influence on the control of earthquakes. Implications for the understanding of other current plate boundaries, plate Scotia and Ancient; Gibraltar arc. The scientific objectives are focused on the study of the limits of tectonical plates present in the Caribbean (American Plate Limit - Caribbean Plate)

FANS-3 Cruise (29GD19970707) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 1997, Study of the fluxes across narrow shelves. Study the distribution of water masses, sediment, nutrients, chlorophyll and oxygen, to combine with time series and study the circulation in the platform and the processes that regulate flows in it, especially those related to transfers between the littoral-platform-slope.In this campaign two lines instrumented with current meters and transmisometers will be collected

FLUXALB-I Cruise (29GD19971027) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 1997, To study the sedimentary flows associated with the exchange in semi-enclosed seas and fronts.During the campaign 3 moorings with sediment traps, current meters and transmisometers will be installed. 2 profiles of 5 points will be made taking large volume water (160L) with the rosette of 24 bottles. There will be 4 CTD transects with a total of 40 stations taking samples of water with niskin bottles installed in a rosette of 12 bottles. Sample of sediment samples with maxicorer (3) and gravity controls (2). Register of continuous thermosalinograph
