TYPE OF STATION : Fixed Mooring

OBJECTIVES :

to improve the knowledge of the dynamics in the South Aegean Sea
to monitor the flow conditions in the South Aegean Sea
to determine the dynamical regime surrounding the trap moorings
to determine the potential hydrodynamic bias of sediment trap data
to provide a consistent data set both for validation of the models and the assessment of complementary programmes
