ET-2001 Cruise (29GD20010718) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2001, The objective of the campaign is to thoroughly sample a mesoscale anticilonic swirl. A structure of this type will be searched and persued in the area from the Gulf of Leon to the Catalan Sea

MIDAS-1 Cruise (29GD20011002) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2001, Microwave radiometric measurements and development of algorithms for the SMOS mission.It involves anchoring 2 meteorological / oceanographic buoys and 2 measuring salinity buffers over a depth of 165 m. In addition, some salinity profiles must be realigned with the CTD probe. All this as a support to measurements with radiometers that will be carried out for 30 days from the CASABLANCA platform. The buoys must be collected after 35 days

VEDA-1 Cruise (29GD20011109) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2001, Campaign to analyze the response of organisms and sediments to a short period of non-fishing activity.Collection of samples of infauna and sediments from the study area and recording of the process followed by the material resuspended by the trawl. Recording of oceanographic and environmental data

MIDAS-2 Cruise (29GD20011124) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2001, Microwave radiometric measurements and development of algorithms for the SMOS missionIt's about recovering the anchored buoys during Midas-1. In addition, some salinity profiles must be realigned with the CTD probe. All this as a support to measurements with radiometers that will be carried out for 30 days from the CASABLANCA platform

CAÑONES-IV Cruise (29GD20011126) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2001, This campaign is the end point of the temporary cycle of the anchorages, in which the material must be collected

ICEFISH Cruise (29HE20010119) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2001, Physiological adaptations of fish in ice (Channichtyidae family) during development, with special reference to the expression and activity of the inducible form of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) .The objective of the campaign is to capture larvae of ice fish to determine: 1) The different isoforms of nitric oxide synthases, the level of protein and mRNA, as mollecular markers of hyperoxia.2) The stage of larval development by allocating the age by otolith analysis and RNA / DNA rates. 3) determine the oxygen consumption under controlled conditions

FICARAM-II Cruise (29HE20010305) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2001, The overall objective of the FICARAM program is the monitoring and the annual evolution of the quantification of CO2 uptake in the Atlantic. Specific objectives during the campaign: 1) Evaluate the air-sea exchange of carbon dioxide, measuring the partial pressure of CO2 on the surface of the sea and the atmosphere. 2) Estimate the incorporation of anthropogenic carbon, measuring the variables of the carbon system (pH and alkalinity) and dissolved oxygen in the water column

GOLFO Cruise (29HE20010514) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2001, "Dynamic distribution of plankton and seston in the Gulf of Cadiz: scales of variability and control by physical and biological processes"GOLFO. The main objective is to know the variability in the distribution of plankton and seston in the Gulf of Cadiz in relation to the oceanographic processes that affect the basin. The project is divided into 3 subprojects. 1) Study the circulation and distribution of water masses and physical processes in this region. 2) Study the spatial variability of phytoplankton and seston as well as the control scales by physical and biological processes. 3) Study the spatial variability of the picoplankton and zooplankton fractions in this region of the Gulf of Cadiz

ZEE-2001 Cruise (29HE20010801) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2001, Exclusive Economic Zone cruise 2001

HITS Cruise (29HE20010907) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2001, Characterization of tsunamigenic structures in SW Iberia margin by Side Sonar TOBI. High resoultion imaging of tsunamigenic Structures in the southwest Iberian margin (Hits). The HITS campaign has been designed to determine the detailed geometry of the active seismogenic structures of the South West of the Iberian Peninsula using the TOBI high resolution sonar. In addition, to calculate the style and movement of active faults, as well as recurrence rates, the sampling and subsequent dating of the units associated with the seismic cycle of the fault is necessary, for example the landslides located at the base of the escarpment. For this purpose, we forecast the realization of several gravity cores in areas previously identified by TOBI, corroborated by multibeam. echosounder and parametric probe. Finally, to determine the possible factors that may influence the nucleation and propagation of earthquake ruptures, we plan to investigate the thermal regime of the fault zone by means of the heat flow probe and its possible escape of fluids, by means of a nephelometer / underwater camera SHRIMP
