BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

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

FICARAM-III Cruise (29HE20011028) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2001, The overall objective of the FICARAM program is the annual monitoring and evolution of the quantification of CO2 uptake in the Atlantic. The specific objective of the Ficaram III campaign is to evaluate the air-sea exchange of carbon dioxide, measuring the partial pressure of CO2 in the surface of the sea and in the atmosphere. Also salinity and temperature will be measured, chlorophyll by fluorescence, meteorological variables (wind, atmospheric pressure, air temperature and geographical position
