BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

PLOCAN Cruise (29SG20140601) carried out on the Research Vessel Sarmiento de Gamboa in 2014, The objective of the cruise is to collaborate in the installation and anchoring of a buoy with superficial meteorological and oceanographic instrumentation in the context of the PLOCAN platform (The Oceanic Platform of the Canary Islands). It also contains a structure in subsurface waters which brings together another series of sensors to measure physical and biochemical parameters in the water column.The deployment of this anchor will allow to measure atmospheric and oceanographic variables in high resolution (every hour) at sea, which will be transmitted in real time via satellite. Regarding the atmosphere and by means of a meteorological station, barometric pressure, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation and photosynthetically active solar radiation are measured, and oceanographic variables are measured at the sea surface. temperature, conductivity, oxygen, turbidity and chlorophyll. In addition, there are two sensors belonging to the Marine Chemistry group of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC) to record the data on surface pH and CO2. With respect to the subsurface structure, pressure, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll and currents are measured in a self-contained manner. These observations can be viewed once the funding is recovered. It is estimated that the funding remains one year maximum
