FAR-DWO_DS1 Cruise, RV Sarmiento de Gamboa

In the FAR-DWO DS1 oceanographic cruise we analyze the hydrographic and sedimentological variability of the Denmark Strait Overflow using water column and seafloor observation and sampling techniques. We also deploy multi-instrumented mooring lines at depths between 1000 m and 2000 m to record information of the dense current during a whole year. The FAR-DWO DS1 cruise will last from July 19th to August 12th 2023 onboard the oceanographic vessel Sarmiento de Gamboa (CSIC). We are a team of around thirty experts from the Universitat de Barcelona (UB), Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), Institut Français de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer (IFREMER), University of Iceland (UI), and the company specialized in satellite technology Lobelia Earth, and we count on the technical support of Unidad de Tecnología Marina (UTM-CSIC)
