Convex 20 Mission
June 2020
As part of South Adriatic monitoring annual program, a glider was deployed in the Southern Adriatic Sea from June 12 to July 2, 2020. The mission had the aim to assess the hydrographical characteristics present in June in the area of the South Adriatic pit after the winter deep convection. This glider mission is part of the 2019-2020 Saildrone Atlantic to Mediterranean (ATL2MED) mission, in which two autonomous wind-powered vehicles sailed from Cabo Verde to Trieste, Italy, demonstrating how fit-for-purpose technology can be used to increase ocean observation. During the mission Autonomous Surface and Subsurface Vehicles Work Together to Observe CO2 Exchange in the Adriatic Sea. The saildrones will attempt to join a OGS-led glider study in the Southern Adriatic close to the E2M3A station, providing surface observations to complement the sub-surface glider observations.
