SWOT AdAC : what is your research field and how did you chose it ?

The BioSWOT-Med campaign is an interdisciplinary and international campaign. The National Institute of Oceanographic and Applied Geophysics (OGS), Italy, is a partner of the BioSWOT-Med campaign and contributes to WP2 Physical processes.

Over 40 researchers took part in the BioSWOT-Med Pre-cruise meeting held on Monday 6th March at the Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography, Campus of Luminy, in Marseille, and online.  Within SWOT AdAC there are now 21 offshore campaigns and BioSWOT-Med and California Cal/Val are the 2 leader cruises, supported by NASA and CNES.

A NEW FLUORESCENCE SENSOR FOR IN SITU MEASUREMENTS OF DISSOLVED BLACK CARBON DERIVED FROM MARITIME TRAFFIC

The high scientific quality and engaging conveyance of the information
presented contributed to the overall success of the conference.

The PLASMA project for "Microplastic Pollution of the Mayotte Lagoon" aims to better understand the origins of plastic pollution in the lagoon of Mayotte based on a diagnosis and analysis of local practices through measurements, modeling and participatory science. This innovative and multidisciplinary project is carried out in partnership between the M.I.O. and the Marine Natural Park of Mayotte (French Office for Biodiversity) and the University Center for Training and Research of Mayotte.

Jean-Luc Fuda and his colleagues from the OPLC (Océanographie Physique, Littorale et Côtière) and SAM (Service Atmosphère et Mer) teams of the MIO (Institut Méditerranéen d'Océanologie) have designed and built a profiler to measure vertical marine currents.
The VVP (Vertical Velocity Profiler) is the instrument in the foreground of the picture.

New article by our colleagues Stéphanie Barrillon, Robin Fuchs, Anne A. Petrenko, Caroline Comby, Anthony Bosse, Christophe Yohia, Jean-Luc Fuda, Nagib Bhairy, Andrea M. Doglioli, Gérald Grégori, Roxane Tzortzis, and Melilotus Thyssen on the phytoplankton reaction to an intense storm in the north-western Mediterranean Sea.
