AlborEx dataset (25-30 May 2014)

AlborEx (Alboran Sea Experiment) consisted of a multi-platform, multi-disciplinary experiment carried out in the Alboran Sea (Western Mediterranean Sea) between May 25 and 31, 2014. The observational component of AlborEx aimed to sample the physical and biogeochemical properties of oceanographic features present along an intense frontal zone, with a particular interest in the vertical motions in its vicinity. To this end, the mission included 1 research vessel (66 profiles, ADCP and thermosalingraph measurements), 2 underwater gliders (adding up 554 profiles), 3 profiling floats, 25 surface drifters.
