Summary of measurements

-Trawl hauls (Rockhopper roller trawl, Medits bottom trawl).
-Hydrological profiles with multivariable probe (temperature, salinity, pressure, optical transmission and fluorescence).
-Particle size profiles using in situ laser granulometer.
-Current profiles in bottom layer with ADCP.
Water samples to analyze particule content, particulate carbon and nitrogen and particulate organic carbon, nutrients (nitrite, nitrate, ammonium, phosphate and silicate) and dissolved organic matter.
-Surface sediment samples taken with grab to analyze granulometry.
