Since 1996, the Centro Oceanográfico de Canarias (COC) of the Instituto Español de Oceanografía (IEO) in collaboration with the Instituto de Oceanografía y Cambio Global (IOCAG) of the Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), has been carrying out the Radial Profunda de Canarias project (RAPROCAN, Vélez‐Belchí et al., 2014) to study the water masses and circulation around the Canary Islands. With a yearly or twice a year frequency, 29 to 50 stations are carried out around the Canary Island archipelago.
