Summary of measurements

-Continuous measurement of absolute currents 0-200m using a Doppler acoustic profiler (ADCP).
-Continuous measurements of surface temperature and salinity using TSG.
-Continuous measurement of air temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, wind speed and direction (recording once every minute) with the Batos station.
-Recovery of the temperature sensor moored at Surprise island.
-Study of Surprise island's terrestrial ecology.
