Abstract | Follow-up of the variability of the surface layers of the sub-polar gyre of the North Atlantic. The effort is mainly about the temperature, the salinity, the sea level as well as the nutritive salt and inorganic carbon contents. The project is now incorporated in the ORE SSS whose the objectives are the follow-up of the variability of the surface salinity, in particular from merchant ships. The other objectives, in collaboration with the other concerned institutes are:
- on the one hand, follow-up of oceanic carbon and air-to-sea exchanges in the gyre sub-polar in the Atlantic North,
- on the other hand, analysis of meridian transport of heat in the North Atlantic through 60N. |
