Description
The overall objective of the cruise was to perform a systematic geophysical survey. The main aim is to obtain complete bathymetric sea-floor coverage. There are other geophysical data obtained during the cruise, whose acquisition is compatible with the navigation requirements of the multibeam survey, such as gravity, geomagnetic and ultra-high resolution seismic data (TOPAS system).This project is the result of a cooperation between the Instituto Hidrografico de la Marina (IHM, Hydrographic Institution of the Spanish Navy) and the Real Observatorio de la Armada (ROA, Royal Observatory of the Spanish Navy), under the control of the Secretaría General Technical Secretary of the Spanish Defense Department (SEGENTE, General Technical Secretary of the Spanish Defense Department), whith the collaboration of several other institutions and universities. cruiseThe started on August 29th at Cartagena and finished at La Coruña on September 13th. It was planned in order to cover two bathymetric charts (G17 and G18) to the NW of Galicia, but the bad weather led to complete only bathymetric chart G17 and partially G18.
