Convex 14 Mission

February 2014


The Seaglider Amerigo was operated for 3 weeks in the Southern Adriatic Sea. The purpose of the experiment was to study the winter deep water convection in the area. The glider at first covered the transect Molfetta – Dubrovnik and then it was piloted to perform an Adriatic longitudinal transect, down to almost 1000m deep in the area of the South-Adriatic pit. At the end of the mission a butterfly sampling was performed close to the E2-M3A mooring.
