This campaign was carried out on May 15, 2021 on the route between Puerto Juárez and the Arrowsmith Bank course or “Bajo del Este”, as the fishermen call it.

Watermelon) and a sailor (El Chalán). The goal was carry out temperature and salinity measurements in the water column at each of the CTD stations. Direction: 10 stations with a separation of 4 km between each one were planned. Stations 1 to 6 were covered without difficulty; however, at station 7 the waves and the current increased their intensity considerably, so no progress was made to the following stations. the diagram salinity temperature profiles of each station (aligned West to East) The salinity is between 35 and 36 UPS and in turn from 28 °C to 25.5 °C. The depth ranges at the stations were from 1 to 57 m deep.
