It serves as the basis for the development of predictive models of the global environmental change. The second phase of OMEX II concentrates on the upwelling region of the narrow Iberian margin. Findings are divided into 5 work packages. Work package I, temporal evolution of surface production and fate of organic matter. Work package II, spatial and seasonal fluxes and biogeochemical process in the water column. Work package III, Fluxes and processes in the nepheloid layers and surface sediments. Work package IV, Integrated margin-exchange product. Work package V, project management and coordination. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.

The letters in MOCNESS refer to the specific improvements: it's a Multiple Opening and Closing Net, with an Environmental Sensing System. As MOCNESS tows behind a research ship, each net can be opened and shut independently so that it samples a discrete patch of water. The researcher chooses exactly when by using the environmental sensing system. This is an array of sensors mounted on the instrument frame that relays water conditions up to the ship in real time. The data also help researchers match what they find in their sample to the physical properties of the seawater. net - plankton net net - plankton net net - plankton net net - zooplankton net net - zooplankton net net - zooplankton net visual estimate visual estimate not an instrument - maybe an observation type visual observation visual observation not an instrument - maybe an observation type
