Summary of measurements

-Trawl hauls (Rockhopper roller trawl, Medits bottom trawl, GOC 73 pelagic trawl).
-Hydrological profiles with multi-parameter probe (temperature, salinity, pressure, optical transmission, fluorescence and dissolved oxygen).
-Profiles of particle size using laser granulometer in situ.
-Profiles of current in bottom layer using an ADCP.
-Water samples taken for analyses of particulate concentrations, particulate carbon and nitrogen and organic particulate carbon, nutrients (nitrates, nitrites, ammonium, phosphates, silicates), dissolved organic matter, alkalinity and CO2.
-Sediment samples taken with multitube corer for analyses of granulometry, particulate nitrogen concentrations, organic particulate carbon and particulate carbon and nutrients (nitrates, nitrites, ammonium, phosphates, silicates).
