Description
Summary:SPURS-MIDAS Cruise (29SG20130316) carried out on the Research Vessel Sarmiento de Gamboa in 2013 MIDAS (SMOS ocean salinity and soil moisture products. Improvements and applications demonstration) SPURS experiment (Salinity Processes in the Upper ocean Regional Study). Realization a wide range of mesoscale and submesoscale measurements to contribute understanding the mechanisms of formation and permanence of the largest ocean salinity maximum in the centre of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre. Several standard and prototype instruments are used in measuring sea surface salinity and other ocean variables
