Description
This campaign is part of the experimental work that has been carried out in this area since 1996, as part of the CANIGO international and multidisciplinary project (financed by the European Union), as well as the FONDEBC project (financed by the IEO) and now part of the project CORICA approved by the National R+D+I Program in December 2001. The main objective of the subproject is to study, define, measure and model the movements of the water masses that are present in the eastern part of the subtropical turn of the North Atlantic, with special detail in the northward current of the Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) and its interaction with Mediterranean Water (MW), to assess its importance in the transport of energy within the global climate. Goals:Due to incidents in the Gyroscope Campaign, the restructuring of the campaign plan that best suited itself was determined. The main objective was the funding of two series of current meters for the continuous hydrographic study of currents in a specific area of the Canary archipelago.
