| The MECA 93 oceanographic cruise was carried out in June 1993. The main purpose of the experiment was to understand the action of the main driving mechanisms responsible for the flow variability in the Blanes canyon area (NW Mediterranean) during summer. A domain of about 4000 km(2) including the canyon was covered by RN Hesperides between 17 and 22 June 1993. CTD sampling was performed with characteristic spacing between adjacent stations of 7 to 15 km. The water masses distribution observed during the cruise corresponds to a classical, well-established summer stratification, with typical surface temperatures above 22 degrees C. The thermocline was located at a 40 m depth. The TS diagrams reveal water exchanges across the shelf edge. The surface... |
