HyMeX Second Special Observation Period to start in the North-Western Mediterranean
Posted 30.01.2013
HyMeX Second Special Observation Period - SOP2, scheduled from February 1 to March 15 2013 is dedicated to strong wind events and their impact on the ocean mixed layer,
dense water formation and ocean convection. Deployments will focus on the area of the Gulf of Lions under the influence of Mistral and Tramontane. Research vessel Tethys II
and buoy tender Le Provence are already at sea to deploy Argo floats, drifters and buoys. Research vessel Le Suroît will set sail on Saturday from Toulon within the framework
of the MerMex-DeWEX Dense Water formation EXperiment -also part of the metaprogramme MISTRALS- to perform CTD casts in the basin from February 2 to 22. The operations will also involve gliders,
SAFIRE ATR-42, boundary layer balloons, radiosoundings and the wind profiler network set for SOP1. HyMeX SOP2 is funded by CNRS, Meteo-France, ANR and CNES.
