| Description | |
| Summary | In August 1972, and aboard the R/V 'Cornide de Saavedra', 46 hydrographic stations were sampled in the area between the eastern Canary Islands, Morocco and Madeira. Temperature and salinity from 0 to a maximum of 3,400 metres were recorded. Some stations launched drifters for the study of surface currents. |
