MOOSE T00_29 (EGO himilcon 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 seaii) t02 is a repeat-section between marseille and menorca passing by the moose mooring lion located in the center of the deep convection areathe following parameters are provided : practical salinity sea temperature in-situ its-90 scale electrical conductivity sea water pressure, equals 0 at sea-level

本研究立足于对西北地中海长期演变的监控，该监控工作是在allenvi/insu/soere moose（http://moose-network.fr）、insu/mistrals（http://www.mistrals-home.org）以及欧盟第七框架计划下的perseus（http://www.perseus-net.eu）项目框架内执行的。研究目标是对西北地中海在时空尺度上的海洋学变率（物理和生物地球化学）进行监测。两个跨海盆的重复观测段落，每隔约10-20天进行一次，有助于定期监测主要环流特征（如北方流、北巴利阿里海域锋面、科西嘉岛西部流）以及冬季中层和深层水形成以及春季浮游生物大量繁殖等主要过程。滑翔器定期访问moose浮标，旨在进行交叉校准并探索这些浮标周围的变率。i) T00是介于尼斯和卡尔维之间的重复观测段落，途经位于中央利古里亚海的moose浮标dyfamed；ii) T02是介于马赛和梅诺卡之间的重复观测段落，途经位于深层对流中心的moose浮标lion。以下参数得到提供：实际盐度、海温（基于its-90标度）、电导率、海水压力，海平面处压力为零。
