OBJECTIVES AND BRIEF NARRATIVE OF CRUISE
This is the first leg of the third seasonal (spring) monitoring cruise and two mesoscale survey of ADRICOSM-STAR Project.
Surface water reflectance measurements for HYPAD.COM project.
The second leg was dedicated to the geological sampling

The ship departed on monday afternoon 09 may. Two CTD cast was made in western and central depression of Jabuka Pit during the sail for LTER Project.
Dallaporta arrived, in Zelenika on the 10 may, where all the foreign staff went on board.
From Montenegro: Kljajic and Jovicic.
From Albania: Como and Murtaj.
Then the ship sailed further inside Boka Kotorcska to make CTD casts in every basins (KO,TV and HN stations).
When exited to open sea, she sail to the mesoscale area in front of Ulcinj town.
Due to the lack of clearence to sail into the Albanian Territorial Sea, the mesoscale area shifted interely into Montenegro territorial water. From the original array of 9X9 stations grid, a 7X11 grid was made in less of 24 hours (about a CTD cast every 17 minutes). On 12 may, the ship sailed to the off-shore station of transect 1 to begin the seasonal cruise.
Transect 1, 2, 3 ,4 were perfomed in that order. We start the transect 7 and stopped few hours after station 6 to wait the albanian clearence before to enter the territorial sea. Beacause we do not receive the clearance we anticipated 12 hours the second shot of the mesoscale experiment. The 77 casts were made in less of 24 hours again. Meanwhile the albanian clearance arrived by fax. So the transect 5 and the residual stations of transect 7 were made. The last station was 7-5 on the night of 14 may. The ship ended the first leg in Bar harbour on the moorning of 15 may.

Water samples for Oxygen Winkler analisys were made on board.
The italian scientific crew was: Campanelli, Caccamo, Paschini and Penna from ISMAR-Ancona, Cavalli and Bassani from IIA-LARA.
Paschini and Penna, (helped by Como and Murtaj during the mesoscale) performed the CTD and rosette operations.
Campanelli and Caccamo, helped by Como and Murtaj performed the sample and filtration operations
Cavalli and Bassani perfomed radiometric measurement at some stations. Kljajic take fito-plankton samples at some stations for on shore analysis in Kotor Institute and for OGS-Trieste Institute.

This section should be used for reporting mooring, bottom mounted gear and drifting systems (both surface and deep) deployed and/or recovered during the cruise.
Separate entries should be made for each location (only deployement positions need be given for drifting systems). This section may also be used to report data collected at fixed locations which are returned to routinely in order to construct 'long time series'.

PI	Latitude	Longitude	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
-	-	-	-	----

Separate entries should be made for each distinct amd coherent set of measurements of samples. Different modes of data collection (e.g. vertical profiles as opposed to underway measurement) should be clearly distinguished,as shouldmeasurements/sampling techniques that imply distinctly different accuracy's or spatial/temporalresolution. Thus, for example, separate entries would be created for i) XBT drops, ii) water bottle stations, iii) CTD casts, iv) towed CTD, v) towed undulating CTD profiler, vi) surface water intake measurements, etc.
Each data set entry should start on a new line - it's description may extend over several lines if necessary.
