Today, some photographs sent by Igor Fernández Urruzola (thanks Igor) taken during the sampling on board the RV Aemón 22. The survey consisted in a transect to the south of Gran Canaria Island parallel to the coast. The objective was to detect the island effect on the thermocline depth and its biological consequences. Nice work performed by our master students who worked hard at sea.
The RV Aemón 22 was the boat used to train our students in the oceanographic work. Not so bad...
A nice photograph of our "Rositta", the small rosette used in this small boat.
Natalia Osma shutting the Niskin bottles from the lab. Hard work... See the temperature profile on the screen. The mixing layer was deeper than 150 m.
