Objective

The FROMVAR project (collaboration between LPO/LEMAR/AD2M) conducts targeted studies of the Ushant tidal front. - physics studies (CTD array set up on the zone, using an undulating towfish called the "Scanfish") - biological studies (Measurements of the pelagic ecosystem's size, measurements of the micro-scale turbulence responsible for nutrient enrichment and mixing of water masses)
