| Objective | The BATEL-1 cruise was conducted from 4 to 14 June 2007 by the University of Bordeaux-1 (EPOC laboratory). The main objective was to obtain a database of optical and geochemical data in order to create algorithms to quantify the suspended particles and dissolved substances for the interpretation of MODIS, SPOT, ASTER and FORMOSAT-2 satellite images. The end purpose is to identify coastal water composition from satellite images. The second aim was to monitor the Adour river's turbidity plume during this period. In addition, measurements were taken to analyze the heavy metals, stratification of water masses (CTD) and for intercomparison of two fluorimeters. These measurements are currently being used by Ms. Petus (Thesis, Cifre grant). The cruise fell under the interregional Aquitaine-Euskadi programme. |
