The aim of the project PREPARED is to investigate and define the present and past oceanographic conditions around two contourite drifts located on the eastern side of the Fram Strait (Bellsund and Isfjorden sediment drifts) using a full range of measurement time scales, from instantaneous (CTD) and seasonal (moorings) oceanographic measurements, to the recent (Box corer) and geologic (Calypso core) past record. The project is therefore conceived under a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary view in order to consider the interaction between various components of the Arctic system in this area. Our study area is regarded as a key zone for the reconstruction of the Arctic Ocean circulation, which in turn, plays a key role in the global thermohaline system. EUROFLEETS2-PREPARED
