Coordinates AURORA and integrates deep-ocean observations from floats, gliders, moorings and research cruises with numerical models.

Scientific dissemination

Combines ship-based observations and expertise in ocean circulation supporting AURORA’s observations and process-based study of deep upwelling

Provides expertise in mooring operations and research cruise logistics

Provides access to submarine cable sensing data, opening a new window onto ocean processes in the Ionian Sea

Contributes expertise in deep-sea moorings and knowledge of the Ionian Sea to support long-term observations of ocean dynamic

Contributes expertise in autonomous ocean observations, and the analysis of mixing from profiling floats. Explores how submarine cable sensing can reveal ocean processes beyond the reach of conventional instruments

Brings expertise in CFC tracer analysis to trace deep-water pathways and investigate how the Ionian Sea’s deep waters are renewed

Provides scientific guidance and takes part in project discussions, helping the team interpret results and refine its research question

Provides VMP strumentation, expertise in turbulence measurements and the physical processes that drive mixing in the deep ocea

Contributes regional ocean observations and knowledge of water exchange across the eastern Mediterranean
