CONGAS 

(CONtinental GAScogne) is a joint SHOM and LPO/CNRS project (2004-2006).

Several types of lagrangian instruments (SURface DRIFTers, MARVOR and
RAFOS acoustic floats, PROVORS-T profiler floats) are being used in
order to study the lagrangian circulation and hydrology
over the continental slope and adjacent abyssal plain of the Bay
of Biscay. Some specific processes, like mesoscale eddies or slope
currents, will be investigated.
