ZEE-2008 Cruise (29HE20080901) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2008, Exclusive Economic Zone cruise 2008, (Characterization of the Galician Continental Margin). Oceanographic hydrographic study of the Spanish exclusive economic zone

DIVA-ARTABRIA-II Cruise (29HE20080915) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2008, Latitudinal diversity in deep bottoms of the Atlantic Ocean (DIVA). DIVA-Artabria II. The general and main objective of the DIVA-Artabria II campaign (2008) It includes the study of biodiversity in deep seafloor, in order to describe biodiversity, to contribute to a real estimate of the number of species that live in the bottoms of Galicia and how they are distributed according to the depth and type of substrate

P3A2 Cruise (29HE20081004) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2008, P3A2 -Pelagic Production in the Atlantic-Andalusian Platform. Discrete measurements of CO2 (pH and alkalinity) and hydrographic variables (salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, phosphate and silicate) obtained during the cruise P3A22008. carried out in the Strait of Gibraltar

NEAREST-SEIS Cruise (29HE20081027) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2008, NEAR shore sourcES of Tsunamis: towards an early warning system (NEAREST). Seismic characterization and paleoseismicity tsunamigenic structures in the Gulf of Cádiz (SW Iberian Margin). During the NEAREST-SEIS cruise on the B/O Hesperides (Nov. 2008), two wide-angle seismic lines were acquired in the Gulf of Cadiz area using a source composed of seven 1500liter Bolt airguns (4520 in3), shot at 90 s intervals. 19 ocean bottom seismometers (OBS) from Ifremer and the University of Brest and 17 OBS from UTM-CSIC, Barcelona were deployed during the survey

SAGAS Cruise (29HE20081122) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2008, This project intends to study, through a multidisciplinary geological and geophysical approach, the current structure and recent evolution of the Gibraltar arch system (sag), which includes the basins and margins of the Alboran and Algerian-Balearic sea and its surroundings, the orogen bético-rifeño and the accretion prism of the Gulf of Cádiz. The objective is to gain a better understanding of the dynamics of the internal processes that affect the lithosphere and the earth's crust, the dynamics of external processes responsible for morphology, sedimentation and geoenvironment, and the interrelation between deep and superficial processes. The specific objectives refer to processes and mechanisms that occur at different scales, and therefore require complementary approaches, activities and methods. The project would increase the geological and geophysical infrastructure in the Spanish Mediterranean and is of interest for allowing actions aimed at preventing and designing contingency plans for geological and environmental risks in a region in which considerable earthquakes and underwater landslides occur

ASELVA Cruise (29SG20080707) carried out on the Research Vessel Sarmiento de Gamboa in 2008, The objective of the cruise is to make a first multidisciplinary approach to the structure and basic functioning of the ecosystem of the carbonated crust bottoms of SELVA (NW Galicia). Multidisciplinary cruise : geosciences, physical oceanography, plankton, larval biology trophic ecology, benthonic biodiversity and fisheries

CALIBRA-2 Cruise (29SG20080811) carried out on the Research Vessel Sarmiento de Gamboa in 2008, OBS test cruise. Mooring and recovery of 18 OBS´s

GIBRALTAR-2 Cruise (29SG20080915) carried out on the Research Vessel Sarmiento de Gamboa in 2008, GIBRALTAR: Comprehensive analysis of the marine ecosystem of the Strait of Gibraltar: physical forcing and trophic levels.The campaign was carried out between September 14 and October 12, 2008, using the oceanographic vessel 'Sarmiento de Gamboa'. During the campaign, two Doppler current meters (ADCP) were anchored in the Spanish and Moroccan continental shelves, as well as a chain of mechanical current meters, anchored north of the Threshold, between the Cabezas de Bajos and the Paleocanal Norte. At the same time, measurements were taken of CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) and ADCP current profiles made from the vessel 'Sarmiento de Gamboa'. Samples of water and plankton were taken at the precise times and places for the subsequent biological analyzes in the laboratory. In addition, the area was flown over by an aircraft of the National Institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA) of Spain, with a multispectral probe that made AHS lines for the observation of surface currents through the movements of chlorophyll stains and variations in water temperature

CANOA08-SUR Cruise (29SG20081102) carried out on the Research Vessel Sarmiento de Gamboa in 2008, A shallow mesoscale anticyclonic eddy, observed south of the Canary Islands with satellite altimetry, has been intensively studied with multiparametric sampling. The campaign involved multiparametric in situ sampling in the region off NW Africa, from Cadiz to Cape Verde and from the shelf break to the deep ocean: the measurements included hydrographic stations with Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) casts and water samples from a 24 Niskin-bottle rosette; continuous velocity data down to about 600 m depth with the VM-ADCP; CTD sampling with an undulating Nu-Shuttle platform; and the deployment of drifters drogued at about 100 m depth. These measurements were complemented with remote sensing data (SST and altimetry) for the whole NW Africa region

EUROSITE Cruise (29SG20081203) carried out on the Research Vessel Sarmiento de Gamboa in 2008, Mooring of ODAS Meteo Buoy and ARGOS Buoy within Eurosites context. The purpose of EuroSITES (Open Ocean Observatory Network: Monitoring Europe’s Open Ocean) is to integrate the observational capacity of ocean in Europe and product through networking a real ocean observatory
