European Sub-polar Ocean Programme (ESOP-2).
The ESOP2 project is devoted to studying the processes of deep-water formation in the Greenland Sea. The project was started in 1996 as a continuation of the ESOP-1 project (Which in turn was a continuation of the Greenland Sea Project), by several European Partners (EU MAST Programme). In August 1996, an inert tracer was released in the centre of the Greenland sea gyre. Along with the tracer, several RAFOS floats were released. The spreading of the tracer has been monitored by regular cruises, collecting both hydrography, tracers and nutrients.

The Land-Ocean Interaction Study - River-Atmosphere-Coast Study (LOIS-RACS) focused on land-sea interactions in the coastal zone and major exchanges between rivers, estuaries and the atmosphere. The coastal marine study consisted of several seasonal research cruises (RRS Challenger) along the east coast of the UK, probing the North Sea, its major estuaries and the English Channel. In addition, an intensive study of fluxes in the Humber Estuary took place aboard Sea Vigil. The BODC handled the data management for these datasets.
