Positioning profiles parametric probe TOPAS. Campaign CIRCAROCK0521

Description

The information contained in this data set is the positioning of the profiles obtained with TOPAS PS018 parametric probe during the CIRCAROCK0521 campaign, in the waters of the North Atlantic demarcation. This is the representation of the spatial distribution of the lines where vertical profiles of the substrate are held. The area covered by the data provided ranges from the area outside Avilés to the border with Portugal south of Galicia. It is a data set composed of linear elements, where each element represents the situation of the acoustic profile obtained with the TOPAS parametric echosonde. The development of this set of geographical information started in May 2021, thanks to the CIRCAROCK0521 oceanographic campaign. The geographical information collected is stored in a spatial database. This work has been financed thanks to the project ‘Technical Scientific Advice for the Protection of the Marine Environment: Evaluation and Monitoring of Marine Strategies, Monitoring of Protected Marine Areas of State Competence (2018-2024)’. Marine Strategies are the marine environmental planning instrument created under Directive 2008/56/EC (as amended by Directive 2017/845) establishing a framework for Community action in the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy Framework Directive), and have as their main objective the achievement of the Good Environmental Status (GES) of our seas. The 11 Good Environmental Status descriptors form the basis for the description and determination of good environmental status of the marine environment. They are established by the Directive in its Annex I. The marine assessment areas are located within the Marine Reporting Units (MRUs) defined in the framework of the Marine Strategies of Spain.
