Two onshore profiles were acquired in E-W and N-S directions through the Variscan and Alpine domains of 140 and 65 km length, ESCI-N1 and ESCI-N2 respectively. Also two offshore profiles ESCI-N3 and ESCI-N4 were obtained with a streamer of 4500 m having 360 channels with a 12.5 m gap between them and a 40 l airgun capacity. ESCI-N3 follows a swerved line in a mainly E-W direction crossing the Variscan structures. ESCI-N4 is a N-S direction profile that crosses both the Cantabrian margin and Le Danois bank Alpine structures. Techincal specifications of offshore profiles: streamer length 4,500 m, 360 channels, group interval 12,5 m and sample rate 4 ms., The ESCI-N project in Northwestern Spain was a subprogram of the ESCI Program (Estudios Sísmicos de la Corteza Ibérica). It is formed by four seismic experiments both on and offshore. This project aimed to image the Cantabrian Zone, West Asturian-Leonese Zone and the northern Iberian margin, thus characterizing the crustal structure resulted from the Variscan and Alpine orogenies and the Mesozoic extension related to the opening of the Bay of Biscay., CICYT (Committee of Science and Technology of the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science), GEO90-0660.-- FICYT (Fundación para el Fomento en Asturias de la Investigación Científica Aplicada y la Tecnología).-- Science and Technology for Regional Innovation and Development in Europe-European Commission, Peer reviewed

Two land seismic profiles across the Betic Chain imaged the deep structure of the crust belonging to two different crustal domains. To the north, one profile samples the crust of the Variscan Iberian Massif that underlies the sedimentary cover of both the Guadalquivir foreland basin and the South Iberian crustal domain. A second profile crosses the Alpine metamorphic complexes of the Betics., Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología - CICYT.-- Dirección General de Investigación Científica y Técnica - DGICYT.--, Peer reviewed

BRANSFIELD Cruise (29HE19911128) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 1991, Oceanography Bransfield Strait: environmental parameters, productivity and characterization of plankton communities

This dataset provides information on the distribution and abundance of mesopelagic fish larvae in the Agulhas Current region (southwestern Indian) in three cruises carried out between 1990 and 1991. Samples were dominated by larvae of myctophid fishes. A few species showed marked seasonality in their occurrence, e.g. Scopelopsis multipunctatus that only appeared in winter, and Hygophum hygomii that showed the highest abundances in winter, while others appeared in low concentrations during all surveys. Shoreward intrusions of Agulhas Current surface water contributed to the occurrence of larvae of oceanic species in inshore stations, "Agulhas current ichthyoplankton".
