OBJECTIVES AND BRIEF NARRATIVE OF CRUISE
Fourth seasonal (summer) monitoring cruise of ADRICOSM-STAR Project.
Surface water reflectance measurements for HYPAD.COM project.
Summer monitoring cruise in Jabuka depression for LTER Project.

The ship departed on Tuesday 24 June.Course to Zelenika.

Dallaporta arrived, in Zelenika on the 25 June, where all the foreign staff went on board.
From Montenegro: Zoran Kljajic, Aleksandar Jovicic and Dragana Drakulovic.
From Albania: Elvin Como and Bledar 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, the ship sailed to the off-shore station of transects 1 and 2.

At the end of transect 2, the ship sailed to station 4-1 and we stopped the cruise for wait the right sunlight for reflectance measurement (HYPAD.COM project). On 26 June, along the course of the transect 4, the airborne with on board the hyperspectral sensor MIVIS (Multispectral Infrared Visible Image Spectrometer) make the same path for reflectance measurement at 1.5 and 4 Km from sea level. (HYPAD.COM project). On the afternoon we made transect 7 and we stopped again the cruise for wait the sunlight.

At 9.00 27 June we started transetc 6 and after 5 and 3 was made.The whole transetc 5 and stations from 3-1 to 3-5 a CTD Idronaut model 316plus (IBMK owner) was put in the frame in order to check the idronaut system..

The last station was 3-7 on the evening of 27 June. The ship ended the Adricosm-Star cruise in Zelenika harbour on the morning of 28 June. Foreing staff and Rosa Maria Cavalli were disembarked.

In the night of 28 June we started Jabuka transect from station P10 and ended in the morning of 29 June in station P01. The ship ended the cruise in Ancona harbour on the afternoon of 29 June.

Water samples for Oxygen Winkler analisys were made on board. During the cruise water surface temperature date as well as GPS data were carried out at 1 minute time interval.
The italian scientific crew was: Mattia Betti, Giuseppe Caccamo, Alessandra Campanelli and Pierluigi Penna from ISMAR-Ancona, Rosa Maria Cavalli and Cristiana Bassani from IIA-LARA.
Penna and Caccamo performed the CTD and rosette operations.
Campanelli and Betti, 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.

Aleksandar Jovicic helped by Penna manage and start up Hydronaut CTD system.

(IF APPLICABLE) if the cruise is designated as part of a larger scale cooperative projct (or expedition), then enter the name of the project and of organisation responsible for co-ordinanting the project.

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'.
MOORINGS, BOTTOM MOUNTED GEAR AND DRIFTING SYSTEMS

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.
