2. AN OCEANOGRAPHIC SHIP
The oceanographic ship assessed the impact of
underwater volcanic eruption on El Hierro island on
the marine ecosystem.
It has a robot Rov Liropus 2.000, which is being used
to explore volcanic eruptions, seabed biodiversity,
the biology of marine species,the marine pollution of
the Planktonic Ecosystem Dynamics, etc
It also has four laboratories; dry and / or wet with
pre-installation for measuring equipment, filtration,
etc, where the crew performs the calculations and
checks, as well as coordinating all coring operations.
3. The study of Phytoplankton: Marine
biologists use plankton nets for
phytoplankton sample directly on the ocean.
Phytoplankton samples can be taken directly
from the water in the permanent observation
stations or ships. Sampling devices include
hoses and bottles to collect water samples
and plankton is sometimes collected on
filters dragged through the water behind a
boat.
Researchers may be able to identify the
phytoplankton managed to genus or even
species through genetic analysis or
microscopic investigation in the laboratory
of the ship
4. This is the zooplankton of La Restinga in periods before and after
volcanic eruption:
6. ITS CAMERAS AND FORCEPS ARE USED TO CATCH THE SAMPLES OF ALGAE,
FISH AND SEAFOOD.
7. ROSETTES ARE USED DOWN TO THE BOTTOM TO MEASURE SALINITY, TEMPERATURE,
OXYGEN AND OTHER WATER PARAMETERS IN ANY PART OF A SUBMARINE VULCANO
OR DEEP OCEAN

9. RECEIVING SATELLITE INFO STATION
Satellites are critical for global studies of phytoplankton and
their role in climate change.
In July 2010, the system for receiving satellite data installed
in 1998 in order to obtain images of Sea Surface Temperature
(SST) by capturing the data provided by meteorological
satellites was completely renovated in the IEO Santander
NOAA and Metop series.
Currently, the station receives more than 10 daily passes
from NOAA-18, NOAA-19 and METOP-A METOP-B to its
passage over the coverage area of Santander Satellite
Oceanography Centre. Subsequently these data are
processed and converted to images SST.
The quicklooks in JPG format and SST final images in JPG
format are available
