RAMÓN MARGALEF SHIP AND ITS

ROBOT LIROPUS 2.000

AN OCEANOGRAPHIC SHIP

The oceanographic ship assessed the impact of underwater volcanic eruption on El Hierro island on

the marine ecosystem.

It has a robot Rov Liropus 2.000, which is being used to explore volcanic eruptions, seabed biodiversity,

the biology of marine species,the marine pollution of the Planktonic Ecosystem Dynamics, etc

It also has four laboratories; dry and / or wet with pre-installation for measuring equipment, filtration, etc, where the crew performs the calculations and

checks, as well as coordinating all coring operations.

The study of Phytoplankton: Marine

biologists use plankton nets for

phytoplankton sample directly on the ocean.

Phytoplankton samples can be taken directly

from the water in the permanent observation

stations or ships. Sampling devices include

hoses and bottles to collect water samples

and plankton is sometimes collected on

filters dragged through the water behind a

boat.

Researchers may be able to identify the

phytoplankton managed to genus or even

species through genetic analysis or

microscopic investigation in the laboratory

of the ship

This is the zooplankton of La Restinga in periods before and after

volcanic eruption:

THE SUBMARINE (ROV) CAPABLE OF OPERATING UP TO

2,000 METERS DEEP.

ITS CAMERAS AND FORCEPS ARE USED TO CATCH THE SAMPLES OF ALGAE,

FISH AND SEAFOOD.

ROSETTES ARE USED DOWN TO THE BOTTOM TO MEASURE SALINITY, TEMPERATURE,

OXYGEN AND OTHER WATER PARAMETERS IN ANY PART OF A SUBMARINE VULCANO

OR DEEP OCEAN

RECEIVING SATELLITE INFO STATION

Satellites are critical for global studies of phytoplankton and their role in climate change.

In July 2010, the system for receiving satellite data installed in 1998 in order to obtain images of Sea Surface Temperature

(SST) by capturing the data provided by meteorological satellites was completely renovated in the IEO Santander

NOAA and Metop series.

Currently, the station receives more than 10 daily passes from NOAA-18, NOAA-19 and METOP-A METOP-B to its passage over the coverage area of Santander Satellite Oceanography Centre. Subsequently these data are

processed and converted to images SST.

The quicklooks in JPG format and SST final images in JPG format are available

RESEARCHING

They research marine

seabed , the sound of fish,

crustaceans and

volcanoes in 3D
