The sixth cruise, denominated CaVortEx-6, of our ONR project took place from August 26 to September 9 of 2006 in waters between Puerto Rico and Venezuela. Nine students and five professors, including Fernando Gilbes, conducted multiple measurements and experiments in order to better understand the role of Caribbean eddies. These eddies affect the salinity and temperature of the water column and induce changes in the phytoplankton production.
