This field campaign has been organized under the WP6 in the Euro-Argo RISE project (Euro-Argo Research Infrastructure Sustainability and Enhancement). The objective is to deploy an I -ARVOR profiler as an the extension of the geographical coverage of Argo into shallow waters of the European Marginal Seas which are areas of important socio-economic impact.

Taking advantage of this Cruise, a complete experiment has been done launching also other Lagrangian platforms that will be included in the Euro Argo ERIC and in the Global Drifter Program.
