Objectives :
The aim of the MATER research project is to co-ordinate
physical and chemical oceanographic observations on the subsurface (both
intermediate and deep) water mass formation and spreading to the assessment
of the biogeochemical processes controlling their signatures, which allow their
pathways in the Mediterranean sub basins to be traced. The Work Pakage 3
Multidisciplinary studies in the Adriatic Ionic Subbasin, in particular is
focused on the area including the Southern Adriatic and the Northern part of
the Ionian basin.
The main purposes of the sixth cruise were: - to carry out
a seasonal hydrological survey; - to achieve time series collection of downward
particle fluxes and current measurements (5 recovery and 4 deployment of
moorings); to carry out in-situ primary production measurements and short-term
export experiments from the photic layer with drifting traps in different
areas.

Description of the field observations :
1) hydrology: CTD profiles, water sampling for chemical (D.O., nutrients,
suspended matter, alkalinity, DOC, etc.) and biological analyses
(chlorophyll a, phytoplankton standing crop and taxonomy, pico and
bacterioplankton, labile DOM, ETS);
2) primary production in situ incubation
coupled with drifting trap experiments;
3) recovery and deployment of moorings.
