Instruments

Summary: STRAIT OF MAGELLAN PROJECT, Oceanography and sedimentology: an interdisciplinary study of physical, biochemical, and sedimentological features on pre-Antarctic region in the framework of Italian Research Programme in Antarctica (PNRA) - The hydrochemical properties in the Strait of Magellan were analyzed in the framework of a monitoring program scheduled with an interdisciplinary approach to study the sedimentology of the basin. In particular the hydrological stations were so distributed: 2 stations in the Pacific Ocean; 2 stations within the Canal Beagle; 1 station Brazo del Noroeste; 1 station Canal Ballenero; 1 station Canal Cockburn; 1 station Canal Magdalena; 9 stations in the Punta Arenas basin; 4 stations in Atlantic Ocean entrance.
