Objective This is part of the general international PIRATA programme. Since it is the 25th French cruise of this type, it is called PIRATA-FR25. The objectives of the cruise were initially: to replace 6 Pirata ATLAS buoys located in the Gulf of Guinea, replace an ADCP current meter mooring at 10°W-0°N, deploy an ADCP current meter mooring at 0°E-0°N, perform 2 hydrological legs with CTD-O2/LADCP (not done), deploy 5 drifting SVP-BS buoys and 8 Arvor profiling floats (CORIOLIS), take seawater samples to analyze S, O2, CO2, C13/O18, nutrients and pigments and perform heat profiles with XBT probes. Also, in addition to routine and recurrent PIRATA tasks: Recovery of 2 'Chipods' turbulence sensors on 2 ATLAS buoys and replacing them by 10 sensors (5° to 23°W and 5° to 10°W, at the Equator); Replacing OTN acoustic receivers on all the ATLAS buoys.
