Abstract:
The objectives of the cruise P459 from Vigo (Spain) to Funchal (Portugal) in September 2013 (18.09-02.10.2013) on board R/V Poseidon were:
1) To investigate the water column properties along a meridional transect (22°W between 30°N to 37°N) in order to localize the Azores Front and to understand the changes in biogeochemical properties,
2) deployment of the mooring Kiel276-29 (33°N, 22°W) and
3) to perform deep sea trials (at depth greater than 5000 m) with the newly developed acoustic modems and DNS (Druck Neutrale Systeme) devices (ROV and AUV).
