Objective	Two cruises were performed concurrently: MOOGLI1 with P. Raimbault and FETCH with L. Eymard and H. Dupuis. The MOOGLI operation (modelling and observation of the Gulf of Lion) from 3 to 20 March had the general objective of studying seasonal trends in the structure and functioning of the Gulf of Lion ecosystem (North-western Mediterranean). This coastal region is physical governed by a powerful hydrodynamic structure and is subjected to telluric and anthropogenic inputs from the Rhone River. The aim is to draw up a yearly meso-scale budget for carbon and biogenic elements. This falls under the national coastal oceanography programme, or PNOC. The FETCH (French acronym for flux, sea state and remote sensing under variable fetch conditions) cruise was supported by the INSU's PATOM and PNTS programmes and MTPII/MATER, and under the general responsibility of Danièle Hauser from CETP. The FETCH cruise concerns the physical study of mesoscale ocean/atmosphere interactions.

Summary of measurements

-FETCH: Continuous measurements on meteorological mast equipped with standard meteorology sensors (pressure, temperature, humidity and wind), sensors to measure turbulence (wind, temperature) and atmosphere radio soundings.
-FETCH: Incident solar radiation, net radiation.
-FETCH: On board SIS thermosalinometer and SEA-BIRD thermosalinometer. Continuous measurements of conductivity, temperature, salinity, density and fluorescence.
-FETCH: Shipboard ADCP and lowered ADCP (autonomous) lowered at 42 deg 50.06N, 04 deg 14.71 E.
-FETCH: Deployment of 3 buoys to measure the swell, with Météo-France, Will Drennan from the University of Miami and Kimmo Kahma from the Finnish Institute of Marine Research.
-FETCH: CTD casts: pressure, temperature, salinity, density, oxygen, attenuation and fluorescence.
-FETCH: Surface current measurement using acoustic Doppler profilers.
-FETCH: Remote-sensing of the surface using Drakkar radiometer for hyperfrequencies and stereo-photographs for optical studies.
-FETCH: Dissolved DMS gas in water.
-FETCH: Granulometry and chemical composition of aerosols and DMS gas in air.
