Objective

The FLOSTRAL program took place during the VIGO cruise. from 3 January to 9 February 2004. Floats were released during the KERGUEPLAC 1 cruise from 11 February to 15 March 2004 and during the logistics rotation from 19 March to 14 April 2004. This cruise's objectives are to better understand the mechanisms behind the circulation of modal waters in the Southern Indian Ocean, to identify in-situ where and when they form and their modifications underway and set up a network of PROVOR floats in 2003-2004 in the Southern Indian Ocean in order to monitor and quantify the recirculation of modal and intermediate waters. The related programs are PATOM and GMMC. The map shows the positions where PROVOR floats were deployed in the FLOSTRAL-II project. The bathymetry is shown in grey. The black line shows the route of the Marion-Dufresne II during a "normal" OISO cruise between Reunion Island, Crozet, Kerguelen, Amsterdam, and back to Reunion Island. The red lines show the route from Madagascar to Crozet and Kerguelen to Reunion Island - Kerguelen in January 2004. The yellow dots are the PROVOR floats to be deployed at depths of 1,900 m. The green dots correspond to pairs of PROVOR floats which were to be deployed at 500 m and 1 900 m depths. The empty dots correspond to FLOSTRAL-I deployments in January 2003. The solid line at 32 deg S represents the latitude where 25 ARGO/UK floats were released in early 2002.
