Objectives :

The Work Package 120 "Sicily Strait Observations", in particular is focused on the evaluation of the water and bio-geochemical fluxes through the Sicily, Sardinia and Tunisia region. A peculiar attention was also paid to the validation of the most widely empirical formulae used to estimate the radiative fluxes over the Mediterranean Sea.
The main objectives of the third cruise, were to continue the hydrological, biochemical and solar and atmospheric radiation survey in the study area and to make the routinally maintenance of the moorings. In addition, a thirty-hour specific experiment was carried out in correspondence of the Sicily Strait sill in order to study the diurnal variability of the vertical structure, especially for what concerns the thermocline and MAW-LIW interface.

Description of the field observations :

1) hydrology: CTD profiles (temperature, conductivity, oxygen, fluorescence);
2) hydrology: water sampling for biochemical analyses ( dissolved oxygen, salinity, nutrients, dissolved organic nitrogen, dissolved organic phosphorus, dissolved organic carbon, particulate organic nitrogen, clorofill pigments );
3) deployment of moorings;
4) irradiance measurements ( solar and atmospheric radiation );
5) sea surface temperature measurements ( skin and bulk );
6) meteorological measurements ( air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, air pressure, dry and wet temperature ).
