Objective | The general objective is to study the ocean's responses to changes in the environment induced by human activity. This mainly involves observing and predicting changes in a biogeochemical cycle of carbon and its associated elements in order to determine the ocean's response to the increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere and to other sensitive elements like some trace metals. Means used: Carrying out time series of monthly monitoring of hydrological and biogeochemical variables on an observation site (DYFAMED). The site is located in the central part of the Ligurian Sea. The reference point is located at 123 of Cap Ferrat, A study zone was defined with the maritime prefecture of Toulon for all the studies: monthly series, moorings, buoys with instruments. The dates of days at sea (monthly cruises of an average of 3 days/month) were: from 24 to 26 January, 17 to 21 February, 28 to 30 March, 24 to 26 April, 7 to 9 June, 30 June to 2nd July, 30 July to 3rd August, 29 to 31 August, 27 to 29 September, 25 to 27 October and 20 to 24 November. |
