Summary of measurements

-Acquisition of hydrological and biogeochemical parameters in the water column.
-Deploying CTD from 0-2200 m. T, S, O2, fluorescence profile measurements.
-Discrete measurements (bottles): dissolved O2 (Winkler titration), nutrients (NO2, NO3, PO4, SiO2), alkalinity-pH at 12 depths (10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 200, 500, 700, 1000, 1500, 2000m).
-Bi-monthly measurements of atmospheric deposits (dry + wet) at Cap Ferrat: Al, Na and Zn.
-Continuous data measurement: none in 2008.
-Data measured at stations: CTD casts and discrete biogeochemical parameters.
