The overall objective of the cruise was to perform a systematic geophysical survey. Particularly its main aim is to get a complete sea-floor coverage.The investigation is the result of a co-operation between the Royal Observatory (ROA) and the Hidrographic Institute (IHM) (both from the Spanish Navy) under the control of the General Technical Secretary of the Spanish Dpt of Defense. (SEGENTE), with the collaboration of several other Spanish institutions and universities.The cruise started on Sept. 19th at Cadiz. Gordon's Tropical storm as well as some tecnical problems related with the multi-beam echo sounder (Simrad EM-120) conditioned its kicked-off.  This technical failure limited us to work at shallow waters, changing so our initial planning. Finally we ended at Coru?a on October 9th.

Acoustic survey, conducted with an annual periodicity, to assess and map the pelagic (neritic) resources and the oceanographic and biological conditions of the Gulf of Cadiz continental shelf (both Spanish and Portuguese waters, ICES Subdivision IXa South). The survey season coincides with the anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) peak spawning in order to estimate the anchovy SSB by echo-integration. The acoustic sampling for assessment by echo-integration is performed during daylight hours. Biological characterization of the pelagic community is sampled by opportunistic pelagic trawls (for identification of echo-traces), which are also performed during the day. Ancillary biological information (fish eggs) sampled with CUFES (Continuous Underway Fish Egg Sampler) and coupled to the acoustic sampling. Occurrence of sea birds, turtles, and mammals is also recorded along the acoustic transects. Oceanographic characterization of the surveyed area from both discrete (CTD profiles in night stations) and continuous sampling (Thermosalinometer-fluorimeter) coupled to the CUFES sampling. Additional night pelagic trawls were also performed in order to collate some extra biological material and to carry out specific experiments (e.g., in situ determination of the anchovy target strength, TS; nictimeral behavior?).

It was conducted by the ICCM with the main objective to collect observations in the Canary Islands marine environment; to the north by making the monthly visit to the ESTOC site, and to the south to study the dinamicity in the water column due to the arrival of different water masses and the African coastal upwelling.\n1. To comply with the monthly sampling at the ESTOC station 812. Data was taken to 3700 m at 24 depths from surface to bottom making two profiles, since there was only available a rosette with 12 bottles of 10 l. Samples for oxygen, carbon system, nutrients, gelbstoff, salinity and chlorophyll 'a' (the later to 200m) were taken.\n2. Deploy of two drifting buoys from NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, USA) at stations 812 (ESTOC) and 824 (eddy), as part of the collaboration between the ICCM and NOAA to study the surface currents in the Canary Islands  environment.\n3. Carry out hydrographic investigations in the triangle area enclosed by the south of the Canary Islands. A total of 23 CTD/rosette stations were made, casting two profiles per station (2000-200m, 200-5m); it provided enough data to characterize the water column. Samples for oxygen, the carbon system, nutrients, gelbstoff, salinity and chlorophyll 'a' (the later to 200m) were taken.\n4. Deploy of 3 ARGOS floats at stations 818, 835 and 843 .\n5. Drop 8 expandable bathythermograph to thermally characterise the extent of the eddy supposed to be located at station 824.

SUMMARY:The project PLATERIAS financed by Xunta de Galicia in its sectoral program of Tecnoloxias Ambientais has as objective the study of the physical oceanography of the continental shelf and rias of Galicia by means of the development and integration of the existent observation network and the demonstration of the feasibility of the modelizacion of the dynamics of the rias of Galicia and the adjacent shelf by means of a hydrodynamic model coupled to a meteorological mesoscale regional and local high resolution model. This campaign is intended to contribute to the improvement of our knowledge of the shelf in the Costa da Morte, where a lack of measurements exists that became evident during the Prestige crisis. The shelf between Finisterre and Sisargas was where the highest hydrocarbon concentrations were detected.OBJECTIVES:To contribute to the characterization of the circulation in the shelf and adjacent slope in Costa da Morte: - To detect the possible presence of coastal trapped waves described in other similar shelves as the coast west of UnitedStates where they characterize part of the variability - To characterize the temporal and space variability of the currents and the termohaline structure in the shelf. - To characterize the hydrography of the shelf and adjacent slope between Finisterre and Cabo Vilan, an area of active dynamics characterized by an intense upwelling associated to the topography and to the regime of winds. In the area it is of expected the presence of upwelling fronts.

The cruise RadProf201209 is part of the timeseries program from the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) following international strategies for ocean climate monitoring (CLIVAR, GOOS etc). It covers a hydrographical section westwards of Cape Finisterre in Northwest Spain along the 43ºN latitude, extending c.a. 250 nm into the western Iberia basin. The sampling includes hydrography, current velocity fields and water samples collection for biogeopchemical analysis. It is planned the deployment of a mooring line at 43ºN; 11ºW, at a site where current measurements timeseries exist. RadProf201209 adds specific sampling of biogeochemical properties, organic matter and plankton in alliance with the research project BIOPROF.

Complementary to these main objectives, also sampling for biological parameters estimation of 35 selected species were conducted.  In addiction, in each haul, a sampling of temperature and salinity for water mass characterization was done, using a CTD.

Estiamtion of the abundance of pelagic fish present in the North-east Atlantic waters in spring which is the spawning period for these fish species, but focussing in sardine and anchovy. Complementary to this main objective the survey design and strategies will allow the enviroment  be characterised by recording differente variables (i. e. temperature, salinity, fluorescence, plankton, winds or air temperature) in vertical and horizontal profiles along the surveyed area with no noticeable extra-effort. As it was pointed out, these variables will help the acoustic estimations be improved whilst an extensive environment characterisation at the spawning time will be done.
