Summary of measurements |
- -41 CTD/LADCP stations, mainly along 3 sections (see map).
-Intercomparison of 23 CTD beacons to be deployed in the Southern Ocean. -Measuring air-sea fluxes (latent heat, sensitive heat and amount of movement) on an instrumented mast. -Underway TSG measurements. -Tests on a kite to take profile measurements in the layer at the limit of the atmosphere. -Seawater samples taken for rare earth (and neodymium isotopes) analyses. -Deployment of 3 instrumented drifting buoys.
