During MNG0310cruise, the water column properties on the western side of the basin have been investigated along transects from Gargano to the Po Delta (Figures 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14). In addition, some CTD casts were performed on the Eastern coast during the activities on Montenegro and Albania.

In the Appendix Table A1 shows the CTD data collected during cruise MNG0310, and figure A1 plots a summary of the data.

During MNG0310cruise, high-resolution morpho-bathymetric and CHIRP SBP surveys were made. We present hereafter a set of figures showing the capabilities of the Multibeam and CHIRP systems. See hereafter some of the images obtained by the multibeam.
