Sardinia Sea and western Sardinia Channel (37° - 41° N; 07° - 09° E)
Coastal, Off-shore
Algero-Provençal Basin, Mediterranean Sea
The main aim of the WP2 of SIMBIOS project was the study of the seasonal
and interannual variability of the physical parameters in the water column by
in situ data and model implementation and the relationship with
biogeochemical parameters. From the second to the fifth cruise data were
collected on a regular grid.
The experimental activity included six multidisciplinary hydrological surveys
conducted in the Sardinia Sea and Channel in May-June 2000, March 2001,
September 2001, May 2002, November 2002, and March-April 2003 with
CTD casts, water sampling for the determination of nutrients, chlorophyll and
DOC, ship-mounted ADCP, sub-bottom profiler. Physical data from the
second and the forth cruise were used to initialise a numerical circulation
model implemented in the Sardinia Sea.
