Objective | These were monthly survey cruises on the mooring site with a dual objective of (1) verifying the buoy's good operability and the good condition of the mooring and (2) and carrying out a series of additional measurements that are needed either to interpret the continuous measurements taken on the mooring or to acquire additional parameters for marine optics studies. These supplementary measurements include CTD profiles, HPLC pigments, absorption of phytoplankton, particles and dissolved matter, descending and ascending underwater radiance profiles, inherent optical property profiles, atmospheric measurements (aerosols), reflectance measurements above the surface, using a fluorometer to grid the area. The cruise represents a series of monthly cruises lasting from 3 to 5 days. The BOUSSOLE site (43°22' N, 7°54' E) is close to the DYFAMED site. It is located in the zone declared to the Maritime authorities as an area where scientific studies are conducted and scientific instruments moored (indicated on sea charts). |
