Objective Cruise related to the FP6 EU program, project GO (Geophysical Oceanography). The objective of GO cruise is to esplore the potential odf seismic methods for the production of images of the internal structure of oceans. Sieismic data and hydrological data (CTD) have been collected simultaneously from the R/V Discovery, in the Bay of Biscaye, in April 2007. New seismic images of the vein of Mediterranean water have been obtained with two different sources, low and high resolution. The cruise was divided into 2 legs : - leg I, 13 to 23 April 2007 : High resolution seismic data, acquisition de données de sismique haute résolution, with a source of low volume - leg II, 26 April to 14 may 2007 : Lowresolution seismic data (20-30 Hz), with a classical source.

Data managed by SISMER
