Objective | These were monthly survey cruises (3 to 5 days per month) on the mooring site with a dual objective of (1) verifying the buoy's good operability and the good condition of the mooring and (2) and carrying out a series of additional measurements that are needed either to interpret the continuous measurements taken on the mooring or to acquire additional parameters for marine optics studies. These additional measurements include: CTD profiles, HPLC pigments, specific absorption of phytoplankton and particles, descending and ascending underwater radiance profiles, inherent optical property profiles, atmospheric measurements (aerosols), reflectance measurements above the surface, using fluorimeter to grid the area. This was part of the BOUSSOLE project. The BOUSSOLE site (43°22' N, 7°54' E) is close to the DYFAMED site. It is located in the zone declared to the Maritime authorities as an area where scientific studies are being run and scientific instruments are moored (indicated on sea charts). |
