Objective	The climate in the Mediterranean basin is rapidly changing towards a drier system characterized by more extreme rainfall. The physical functioning of the Mediterranean, and in particular the process of deep convection, is thus likely to be strongly impacted in the future (Somot, 2006), with direct consequences for deep water ventilation, pelagic ecosystems and the carbon cycle (Herrmann, 2018). It should be noted that the Mediterranean Sea responds much more quickly and intensely to these changes than the global ocean (Cacho et al 2002), especially because of the renewal of its deep water masses over only a few decades. An increase in deep water temperature of the order of $0.3 circ$C has already been observed since the 1950s (Bethoux, 1990; Krahmann, 1998}, and projections to 2100 predict an increase in surface temperatures from 2 to 3 (Adloff, 2015}, which could disrupt the breeding cycles of many marine species (July 2010). Objectives : The challenge is to properly sample 1) the north current, flowing along the continental slope, 2) the coast/wide exchanges, including cascading episodes, and 3) the formation of deep/intermediate waters offshore and the ventilation of bottom waters. This is necessary to monitor the evolution of thermohaline circulation, heat balances and stock estimates for biogeochemical parameters. The approach chosen is to be multi-scale and to take into account the circulation of the three water masses (surface, intermediate and deep) of this basin. The objective is therefore to maintain a network of fixed stations (instrumented lines, surface buoys, radars, semaphores), autonomous mobile platforms (gliders), and the measurements and collection of samples from vessels of the French oceanographic fleet (Fig. 2).
