Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:
The Azores Current (AC) is one of the mast important flows towards the Eastern Boundary of the North Atlantic, feeds the coastal upwelling of NW Africa and the Western Iberian Penninsula. The AC flows east-southeast (110?) between 33-36?N. The general objective is to quantify the transport of salt, heat, nutrient, inorganic and organic carbon ( dissolved and particulate), and to study its biological and optical implications, from the area formation of the AC, close Middle Atlantic Ridge, to its dispersion and weakening in the Canary-Madeira region. Previous papers show the increase of photosynthetic activity in the STF, witch separates two oligotrophic zones. The carbon fluxes associated to these different subsystems and its optical properties will be addressed during this cruise
