PRACTICAS-01 Cruise (29GD20010206) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2001

PELAGIC Cruise (29GD20010219) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2001, The objective of the campaign is to study the drift of zooplankton and ichthyoplankton in the filaments that occur in the African outcrop, and to study the distribution of the zooplankton and ictioplankton around Gran Canaria and in the eddy system

CAÑONES-I Cruise (29GD20010313) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2001, Multidisciplinary study of the dynamics of a submarine canyon and its impact on the ecology of the continental margin of the western Mediterranean. 8 anchors with correntimeters and sediment traps will be placed in the area of ​​the Palamos canyon. 46 CTD stations will be made and samples of water will be taken with the rosette of 24 bottles. Doppler transects will be made in navigation

BEGUR Cruise (29GD20010326) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2001, Installation of an OCEANOR buoy owned by State Ports and that will be part of the exterior network of marine climatic parameters of State Ports

CAÑONES-II Cruise (29GD20010524) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2001, Multidisciplinary study of the dynamics of a submarine canyon and its repercussion on the ecology of the continental margin of the North-Western Mediterranean. The 7 anchors with current meters and sediment traps installed in the area of ​​the Palamós canyon during the CAÑONES I campaign will be recovered and will be returned to install. 23 CTD stations will be made and water samples will be taken with the rosette of 12 bottles

DESEAS Cruise (29GD20010606) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2001, The object of the DESEAS Project, funded by the EU, was to gather preliminary data on the abundance and maximum depth distribution of the rose shrimp Aristeus antennatus in the Mediterranean SeaThree deep-sea areas in the Mediterranean Sea were sampled using a bottom otter trawl during the DESEAS oceanographic survey carried out from early June to early July 2001, covering an area in the western Mediterranean from 600 to 2800 in in depth and two areas in the central Mediterranean, the western and eastern Ionian Sea from 600 to 4000 m in depth.The sampling was conducted with the otter trawl Maireta System (OTMS) using the R/V García del Cid (38 m long; 1500 HP). The OTMS (vertical opening 1.8-2 m; wing spread 14 m) was trawled by a single warp and operated with a pair of rectangular iron otter boards (1.20 x 2.0 m; 450 kg). A detailed description of the net can be found in Sardà et al. (1998). The initial and final tow time were measured using a SCANMAR sonar system down to 1500 m, and the same parameters were assumed below 1500 m. The vessel speed and geographic position were measured using differential GPS. The trawling was carried out during daylight hours.Temperature and salinity profiles were obtained at each haul using a CTD

CAÑONES-III Cruise (29GD20010710) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2001, The eight anchors installed in the last campaign will be removed and will be reinstalled, samples will be made with the maxicorer

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
