Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:

The overall objective of the cruise was to perform a systematic geophysical survey. The principal aim is to obtain complete bathymetric sea-floor coverage. There are other geophysical data obtained during the cruise, whose acquisition is compatible with the navigation requirements of the multibeam survey, such asgravity, geomagnetic and ultra-high resolution seismic data (TOPAS system).This project id the result of a cooperation between the Instituto Hidrografico de la Marina (IHM, Hydrographic Institution of the Spanish Navy) and the Real Observatorio de la Armada (ROA, Royal Observatory of the Spanish Navy), under the control of the Secretaria General Tecnica del Ministerio de Defensa (SEGENTE, General Technical Secretary of the Spanish Defense Department), whith the collaboration of several other institutions and universities.The cruise started on September 3rd at Santander and finished at La Coru?a on September 27th. It was planned in order to cover two bathymetric charts (G7 and G8) to the NW of the Galicia Bank, but the good course of the works allowed to go beyond this first objective and finalize also chart G9, which was only partially covered during ZEE-2003 cruise.
