Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | FS Poseidon (06PO) cruise PO319 |
|---|---|
| Short name | PO319 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
MERSEA (Marine EnviRonment and Security for the European Area)
The main task concentrated on the MERSEA EU project, closely linked to the ANIMATE EU project, secluded in November 2004; and the DOLAN EU project, secluded in April 2004. The main aim of MERSEA is the management of data and their conditioning for scientific users. RAPID (Monitoring the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation at 26.5°N) Another goal of the POSEIDON cruise was the work at the EB-2 site. It is located 60 nm south of Gran Canaria and a part of the RAPID program. THe main task of the RAPID program is: to establish a pre-operational prototype system to continuously observe the strength and structure of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC). |
