Anne Petrenko is in charge of analysis of hull mounted ADCP and of deployment of L-ADCP and FF-ADCP in the BioSWOT-Med campaign. Here, she describes how these instruments work and what are the differences among them.
Maristella Berta is in charge of lagrangian instrument coordination in the BioSWOT-Med campaign. She describes what drifters and floats are, what information can be gathered from them and how real-time data can help inform the adaptative sampling strategy of BioSWOT-Med.
In the BioSWOT-Med cruise Massimo Pacciaroni will be in charge of drifters and floats deployment. He describes what the differences are between the two and what physical processes they can study.

In the BioSWOT-Med campaign, Sven Gastauer is in charge of Zooglider, a specialized glider to study mesozooplankton. He describes its functioning, the different instruments mounted on it, and the large range of data that can be gathered.
In the BioSWOT-Med campaign, Magali Lescot is in charge of the WP5 on Genomics. She will collect samples to study the microbial community (viruses, bacteria, protists) to evaluate the patchiness of these plankton functional types and taxa and monitor the short term biogeochemical functional responses of the microbiome to the highly dynamic physical environment.
François Carlotti is the leader of BioSWOT-Med’s WP4 “From zooplankton to higher trophic levels”, whose objective is to understand how fine scale oceanic structures may affect the patchiness of metazoan organisms from the smallest (zooplankton) to the largest (cetaceans). Here, he describes the hypothesis under test to explain the distribution of different zooplankton groups in different water masses.
BIOCONTAM " Réseaux trophiques marins et mécanismes BIOlogiques de transfert des CONTAMinants " is organizing a Summer School from June 5 to 9, 2023 in Marseille (Station Marine d'Endoume & Océanomed Luminy).
In the BioSWOT-Med cruise Loic Guillox is in charge of zooplankton sampling. Here he explains the different analyses that will be carried out later on back in the lab to assess zooplankton diversity.

The ADCP and CTD are two classical instruments for measuring oceanic physical characteristics. Stéphanie Barrillon, researcher at MIO, explains how they work.
Elvira Pulido is the leader of WP3 dedicated to nutrients in the ocean. She describes the importance of measuring nutrients concentration in the ocean – as they ultimately control biological activity and diversity – and how they are going to measure them in the BioSWOT-Med campaign.
