Description:
|
- The instrument is installed at the Alboran Island in the South-western Mediterranean Sea, 200 km East from the Gibraltar Strait, 55 km North from Morocco and 85 km South from Spain. The island has an area of 0.071 km2 and it is a nearly flat platform with a maximum height of 15 m asl. The site, maintained in cooperation with the Spanish Royal Army Observatory, is uninhabited (except for some minimal logistical military presence). The most important feature of this site is the lack of local anthropogenic activities.
