INITIAL RESULTS

Buoys deployments

The S1 buoy was redeployed SE of the Po di Goro Mouth. Figure 20 shows the position of the mooring (train wheel 200 Kg, 45 m chain). The E1 buoy was recovered on board and, after refurbishment of body and sensors, and change of batteries and telephone terminal (GPRS-UMTS) was deployed (Fig. 21), using the same anchor and $\sim$ 20 m chain.

CTD data

In the Appendix Table 7 shows the CTD data collected during cruise LTES1-10, and figure 22 plots a summary of the data.

At the E1 site the first CTD cast showed low oxygen values below the thermocline at $\sim$ -6 m. Therefore, additional measurements were performed in the area around the station, aiming at defining the areal extension, that resulted to be confined in fron of Rimini.

Multibeam

Multibeam data have been acquired on the S1 and E1 sites (see Fig. 20 and 21). During the transit to the northern oceanographic transects (Venice and Adige) the area with relict sand waves SE of the Bocche di Lido was mapped (Fig.3).
