The French Institute for the Exploitation of the Sea (IFREMER) has been granted permission to conduct a scientific campaign in the Caribbean Sea, from January 10 to February 29, 2020.
The research will be conducted onboard the Atalante, a flagged French oceanographic vessel.
The research campaign, called EUREC4A, will take place partly in the seas under the jurisdiction of Barbados.
Its aim is to observe the ocean/atmosphere system in the western tropical Atlantic and will take into account hydrological and low-atmosphere observations at the ocean meso-scale1.
