The objective of the MAP-IO program is to assess the feasibility of building an atmospheric and marine biology observatory on board the Marion Dufresne. This observatory aims to carry out atmospheric observations at the ocean-atmosphere interface and integrated on the atmospheric column over the entire globe with a focus of particular interest for the study of the Indian and Southern Oceans. The MAP-IO program is positioned in an observatory logic with four main objectives; (i) integration into international atmospheric and oceanic networks by providing high quality data on a region devoid of permanent observation, (ii) validating and calibrating space sensors and numerical weather forecasting models, (iii) monitoring global changes on the Indian and Southern Ocean and (iv) observation of atmospheric and biology phytoplankton variability over the Indian and Southern Oceans. MAP-IO takes advantage of the scientific campaigns at sea planned by the FOF by exploring different poorly documented ocean areas and by ...
