Objective This is part of the general international PIRATA programme. Since it is the 24th French cruise of this type, it is called PIRATA-FR24. Leg 1 from 9 to 29 April 2014 (Yves Gouriou) and leg 2 from 30 April to 22 May (Bernard Bourles). The objectives of the cruise were: to replace 6 Pirata ATLAS buoys located in the Gulf of Guinea, replace an ADCP current meter mooring at 10°W-0°N, perform 2 hydrological legs with CTD-O2/LADCP, deploy 4 drifting SVPBS buoys and 6 Arvor profiling floats (CORIOLIS), take seawater samples to analyze S, O2, CO2, C13/O18, nutrients and pigments and make heat profiles with XBT probes. Also, in addition to routine and recurrent PIRATA tasks: retrieval of 2 deep sea moorings (hydrophones) during leg 1, adding "Chipods" turbulence sensors to 2 ATLAS buoys, adding acoustic receivers to all ATLAS buoys, continuous deployment of a Picarro analyzer (measuring isotopomers) during the second part of the PIRATA-FR24 cruise (in contribution to the national LEFE "PIRATA 2014: boundary layer and convection in the Gulf of Guinea" programme), deployment of 33 atmospheric radiosondes during the second part of the PIRATA-FR24 cruise (in contribution to the national LEFE "PIRATA 2014: boundary layer and convection in the Gulf of Guinea" programme). The related project is SO PIRATA (SOERE CTDO2).
