Description:
In the framework of the EuroSea project (Task 7.3), a demonstration mission in the Tropical Atlantic has been conducted to enhance and optimize the network design of the Tropical Atlantic Observing System (TAOS) following an integrative multi-platform approach. One Gen6 Saildrone Explorer USV equipped with a CTD, wind, and carbon measurements systems sailed to the Cape Verde region where it acquired data between September 2021 and February 2023. Objectives for this mission include developing an integrated multi-platform approach to improving carbon monitoring, data quality, and regional upscaling from moored instrumentation, biogeochemical Argo floats, autonomous surface observation, and remote sensing products.
