ANIMATEO2-ESTOC Cruise (29GD20020901) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2002 The objective of the campaign is the operational maintenance of the satellite transmission of the data from the ESTOC-1 anchoring, carried out in the vicinity of the ESTOC station (29º 10'N, 15º30'W).We will carry out works of collection of anchoring, its maintenance and updating along with the tests of the technical devices to perform the updating of the technology that serves as a platform for transmitting the data. The ESTOC-2 Funding is located 30 nautical miles west of the ESTOC station and contains new technologies to carry out the acoustic transmission via satellite and Internet of the data coming from the water column. It has a surface buoy under which there are sensors that You have to update and exchange. These anchorages in the area of the tropical turn in the North Atlantic have been placed in order to obtain temperature, salinity, CO2, nutrients and fluorescence data that can be transmitted via satellite to the scientific community
