Popis: CRUISE REPORT. Version 5.0
The PRE-SWOT experiment was conducted onboard R/V García del Cid between 5 and 17 May 2018 in the southern region of the Balearic Islands (western Mediterranean Sea). PRE-SWOT aimed at anticipating the daily high-resolution 2D SSH fields that Surface Water & Ocean Topography (SWOT) will provide during the fast sampling phase after launch in selected areas of the global ocean; one of them being the region around the Balearic Islands. In situ systems, including 2 gliders, 12 drifters, CTD, ADCP, and more than 2000 water samples, were collected in synergy with satellite data and modeling simulations to determine physical and biochemical ocean variability. This experiment will contribute to the preparatory SWOT cal/val activities and was coordinated with the PROTEUS-SWOT cruise (R/V Beautemps-Beauprè).
PRE-SWOT project (CTM2016-78607-P) is funded by the Spanish Research Agency and the European Regional Development Fund (AEI/FEDER, UE). We express our gratitude to the technical staff (UTM- CSIC) and crew of R/V García del Cid for supporting our work at sea.
