ECBI-ENVIASAT-1 Cruise (29GD20020313) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2002, The campaign consists of anchoring 4 GPS buoys and two tide gauges around a point located about 6 miles NW of Menorca. ESA plans to launch the ENVISAT satellite (which carries the RA-2 altimeter on board) the last week of February. buoys that are installed have as their mission the calibration of the RA-2 during the first 9 months of its entry into operation

HUELVA Cruise (29GD20020528) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2002, Diagnosis on the environmental and health situation of the Ria de Huelva. It is also intended to install an anchor

ANIMATEO2-ESTOC Cruise (29GD20020901) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2002, The objective of the campaign is the operational maintenance of the satellite transmission of the data from the ESTOC-1 anchoring, carried out in the vicinity of the ESTOC station (29º 10'N, 15º30'W).We will carry out works of collection of anchoring, its maintenance and updating along with the tests of the technical devices to perform the updating of the technology that serves as a platform for transmitting the data. The ESTOC-2 Funding is located 30 nautical miles west of the ESTOC station and contains new technologies to carry out the acoustic transmission via satellite and Internet of the data coming from the water column. It has a surface buoy under which there are sensors that You have to update and exchange. These anchorages in the area of ​​the tropical turn in the North Atlantic have been placed in order to obtain temperature, salinity, CO2, nutrients and fluorescence data that can be transmitted via satellite to the scientific community

TRIDENT Cruise (29GD20020915) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2002, The campaign consists of sampling an area affected by fishing and another nearby that has not been affected by fishing, both at depths between 600 and 800 meters. Samples of meiofauna, infauna, epifauna and demersal organisms in the study area will be taken. Sampling of sediment and recording of resuspended material in fishing areas. Record of oceanographic and environmental data

CORAL Cruise (29GD20020923) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2002, Red coral study campaign in the Palamós area, the campaign intends to carry out a minimum of 5 transects per day with a vehicle equipped with video and photo cameras in 5 different places in the study area

SOFT-II Cruise (29GD20021006) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2002, The project tries to estimate the predictability of the Balearic Sea

PASTA Cruise (29GD20021024) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2002, One of the priority objectives of the campaign is to anchor instruments to measure the transport of sediment in energy conditions, the dates of the start of the campaign have to coincide with the time when river discharges and storms begin to occur in the Adriatic. This study covers the mouth of the Po River up to the promontory of Gargano (more than 200 miles from the coast), along which several oceanographic instruments will be anchored next to protective buoys and sediment coorers will be obtained in the prodelta of the Po river and in front of the most important Apennine rivers.Probes, thermosalynograph, Doppler, meteorological station, Boxcorrer, mini-CTD with particle chamber, an x-ray apparatus for radiography of sediments, current meters, temperature sesores, oceanographic tripods and protection buoys will be used

ECBI-ENVIASAT-2 Cruise (29GD20021201) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2002, The campaign consists of recovering 2 of the 4 buoys anchored during the first campaign as well as the tide gauge posted near the buoys

GEODEC-MAR Cruise (29HE20020123) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2002, Study of Deception Island volcanic complex and its environment from marine geophysical techniques. Partial objectives: - Establishment of models of horizontal and vertical deformation. - Determination of a local geoid. - Analysis of maps of geomagnetic and gravimetric anomalies. - Establishment of a model of the structure of the crust and upper part of the mantle. - Numerical modeling of behavior. of the boilers. - Elaboration of statistical models for the calculation of the return period. - Elaboration of risk and dangerousness maps. - Elaboration of a multidisciplinary scientific support system (SIMAC). -Geodynamic interpretation of the previous models. SOURPROJECTS: GEODEC-GEODESIA: Geodetic studies on Deception Island. GEODEC-MODELS: Modeling of the active geological processes of the Decepción volcano from the integration of geophysical and geodetic data.GEODEC-GEOMAR: Study of the volcanic complex of Deception Island and its surroundings based on marine geophysics techniques

DRAKE-02 Cruise (29HE20020219) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2002, Study of the circulation and bathymetry of the environment of the circumpolar current (DRAKE). Objectives: 1-To study the geographic variations of the differents water masses present in Drake passage, Brandsfield sea and Decepcion Island. 2-To verify the NOAA satellites radiometer formalism comparing in situ measurements simultaneously recorded in the Antartic Ocean and Cadiz Gulf with satellite data. 3-To verify the Topex-Poseidon, ERS-2 altimeters by direct comparation of the geostrophic currents computed from altimetry and local currents simultaneous measurements. 4- To compare satellite altimeter data with gravimeter continous records
