MOOSE T02_10 (EGO hannon 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 : - Sea water pressure, equals 0 at sea-level - Sea temperature in-situ ITS-90 scale - Electrical conductivity

本研究依托ALLENVI/INSU/SOERE MOOSE（http://moose-network.fr）、INSU/MISTRALS（http://www.mistrals-home.org）及欧盟第七框架计划（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，针对西北地中海的长期演化进行监测。

本研究的核心目标为在时空尺度连续统上，监测西北地中海的海洋学变率（涵盖物理与生物地球化学过程）。

本次研究设置两条跨盆重复断面，重复周期约为10~20天，可定期监测西北地中海的主要环流特征（北流系、北巴利阿里海锋、西科西嘉海流），同时追踪冬季中层水与深层水形成、春季水华等关键海洋过程。

海洋滑翔机会定期造访MOOSE锚系站点以开展交叉校准，并探究这些锚系周边的海洋变率，具体断面信息如下：
i) T00为尼斯至卡尔维的重复断面，途经利古里亚海中部的MOOSE锚系DYFAMED；
ii) T02为马赛至梅诺卡岛的重复断面，途经深层对流区中心的MOOSE锚系LION。

本次数据集提供以下观测参数：
- 海水压力（海平面处压力值为0）
- 原位海水温度（采用ITS-90温标）
- 电导率
