MOOSE T02_06 (EGO milou 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 - Particle backscattering at 470 nanometers

本研究基于西北地中海长期演化监测工作，所用观测数据来自ALLENVI/INSU/SOERE MOOSE（http://moose-network.fr）、INSU/MISTRALS（http://www.mistrals-home.org）及欧盟FP7 PERSEUS（http://www.perseus-net.eu）项目框架下开展的海洋滑翔机（glider）重复断面观测。
本研究旨在连续时空尺度范围内，监测西北地中海的海洋学变率（包含物理海洋与生物地球化学过程）。两条跨盆重复断面的重复观测周期约为10~20天，可定期追踪主要环流特征（北流系、北巴利阿里海锋、西科西嘉海流），并常态化监测冬季中层水与深水形成、春季水华等关键海洋过程。
海洋滑翔机会定期造访MOOSE锚系站以开展交叉校准，并探究锚系站周边的海洋要素变化特征。具体观测断面信息如下：
i) T00断面为尼斯至卡尔维之间的重复观测断面，途经位于利古里亚海中部的MOOSE锚系站DYFAMED；
ii) T02断面为马赛至梅诺卡岛之间的重复观测断面，途经位于深水形成区中心的MOOSE锚系站LION。
本次数据集提供以下观测参数：
- 荧光传感器获取的叶绿素-A信号
- 532纳米波长处的粒子后向散射系数
- 470纳米波长处的粒子后向散射系数
