Project Deliverable D50 Report on Best Practices ... - ESONET NoE

Annex F1: processing of ELISA data
During the ELISA project a 9 subsurface mooring network was deployed for 1 year in the
Algerian Basin. All of them were equipped with current meters and on the central one
(mooring n# 8 in figure 1) 4 packages of CTD+ fluorimeter were added in the surface layer.
The central mooring was recovered twice during one year for data upload, cleaning and
reconditioning. The objective was to study the mesoscale circulation of the zone and its
relation with the biology.
Figure 1: 9 mooring network deployed during ELISA project
This area can be influenced by important current of about 30-60 cm.s -1 in the surface layer as
showed on figure 2.
