MOOSE T02_01 (EGO eudoxus glider) deployment (Mediterranean Sea - Western basin)

The proposed research is based on the monitoring of the long term evolution of the North Western Mediterranean Sea with glider repeat-sections carried out in the framework of the ALLENVI/INSU/ SOERE MOOSE (http://moose-network.fr), INSU/MISTRALS (http://www.mistrals-home.org), and EU FP7 PERSEUS (http://www.perseus-net.eu). The objective is to monitor the oceanographic variability (physical and biogeochemical) of the north western Mediterranean Sea, over a continuum of spatial and temporal scales. Two cross-basin repeat-sections with a repeat rate of about 10-20 days allow to monitor the main circulation features (Northern Current, North Balearic Front, Western Corsica Current) on a regular basis, as well as major processes such as winter intermediate and deep water formations and vernal blooms. The gliders regularly visit MOOSE moorings for cross-calibration purposes and to explore the variability around these moorings. i) T00 is a repeat-section between Nice and Calvi passing by the MOOSE mooring DYFAMED located in the central Ligurian Sea ii) T02 is a repeat-section between Marseille and Menorca passing by the MOOSE mooring LION located in the center of the deep convection area The following parameters are provided : - Chlorophyll-A signal from fluorescence sensor - Particle backscattering at 532 nanometers - Concentration of coloured dissolved organic matter in sea water

本研究依托ALLENVI/INSU/SOERE MOOSE（http://moose-network.fr）、INSU/MISTRALS（http://www.mistrals-home.org）以及欧盟FP7 PERSEUS（http://www.perseus-net.eu）项目框架下的海洋滑翔机（glider）重复断面观测，针对西北地中海的长期演化展开监测。本研究的核心目标为，在连续的时空尺度上监测西北地中海的海洋学变异性，涵盖物理与生物地球化学特性。本次观测设置两条跨盆重复断面，重复观测周期约为10至20天，可定期追踪主要环流特征（北流、北巴利阿里海锋、西科西嘉海流），同时捕捉冬季中层水与深层水形成、春季水华等关键海洋过程。为开展交叉校准并探究锚系站点周边的海洋变异性，海洋滑翔机会定期造访MOOSE锚系站点：
i) T00断面为尼斯至卡尔维的重复观测航线，途经利古里亚海中部的MOOSE锚系站点DYFAMED；
ii) T02断面为马赛至梅诺卡岛的重复观测航线，途经深层对流区中心的MOOSE锚系站点LION。
本次数据集提供以下观测参数：
- 荧光传感器采集的叶绿素-a信号
- 532纳米波长处的粒子后向散射系数
- 海水中有色溶解有机物的浓度
