This campaign had for objective the survey of the evaluating circulation in the offshore zone due to the interaction between the LiguroProvencal Current, the Rhones's plume and the dominant winds. In situ measurements, (hydrology, currents, salinity, water temperature, suspended matter concentration..) were carried out and the evaluation of the plume in terms of position, thickness and coefficients mixing can be related to variations of the forcing parameters (climate, Rhone's flow rate).<P>
