Expanding ocean-monitoring capabilities in the Macaronesia with unmanned mobile platforms
The Macaronesia is a vast area playing a key role in the East boundary of the Central North-Atlantic ocean-circulation system. Despite a significant research activity in ocean monitoring for decades using a wide range of observing systems and methodologies, the area is still under-sampled, mainly du...
