Summary of measurements
-Deployment of 8 current-meter moorings and release of 5 drifting buoys. -96 CTD stations from 0 to 800 m taking water samples in bottles for various titrations. -64 SHET stations (0 to 190 m) for continuous titration of temperature, salinity, diffusion, nutrients and fluorescence. -4 SHET tracks at the surface or at 40 m (continuous data acquisition over 400 nautical miles). -267 triple-net hauls (771 samples put in formalin, 90 fractions were sifted and frozen).
