BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

FICARAM-VI Cruise (29HE20030408) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2003, Annual Progress Monitoring and quantification of the uptake of CO2 in the Atlantic . 1) Assess the variability of air-sea carbon flows.2) Determine the anthropogenic carbon content in the Atlantic Ocean: its spatial and interannual variation. Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide, dissolved inorganic carbon, pH, alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, Spectrophotometer for pH measurement and other instruments from the HESPERIDES in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2003-04-08 to 2003-04-24

GIBRALTAR Cruise (29HE20031105) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2003, GIBRALTAR: Internal waves in the Strait of Gibraltar. Induced mixing processes. The study was developed aboard two coordinated oceanographic vessels, B.O. Mytilus (CSIC) and B.I.O. Hespérides (CICYT), so that while the B.O. Mytilus worked in the strait proper, focused on the taking of observations aimed at characterization of the mechanism of generation and propagation of internal waves, as well as the physical description of them, the B.I.O. Hespérides worked mainly in the area of the Alborán Sea analyzing the biological effects associated with the effects of mixing produced by the arrival of internal waves in this area
