Abstract
El conocimiento científico de los océanos, su interacción con la atmósfera, la sostenibilidad de los recursos pesqueros y el medio ambiente marino son temas de investigación que progresivamente han adquirido una mayor relevancia al reconocerse la importancia de los océanos como proveedores de recursos naturales, su papel en el funcionamiento del sistema Tierra y su respuesta ante los procesos actuales de cambio global. La observación del océano aparece de forma prominente en los principales programas internacionales de investigación y gestión ambiental con la realización de campañas oceanográficas multidisciplinares en todos los océanos.Las zonas susceptibles de aguardar ecosistemas marinos vulnerables han sido objeto de especial interés para el mundo de la investigación. De este modo surgió el proyecto Rap-Sur que se desarrolló en tres campañas oceanográficas, 2008-2010, en el sector central de la Dorsal de Walvis, o Banco de Valdivia, y donde se realizó un estudio multidisciplinar. Los datos de este proyecto han sido la base del presente trabajo. Los objetivos principales han sido la caracterización morfométrica y morfológica dentro del Banco de Valdivia y la determinación de las condiciones oceanográficas y de las masas de agua que han favorecido el modelado de la morfología del fondo marino en este sector..

Ocean observation appears prominently in major international research projects and environmental management programs with multidisciplinary oceanographic surveys across the oceans.Areas of concern for vulnerable marine ecosystems have been of particular interest to the world of research. The Rap-Sur project was developed in three oceanographic cruises, 2008-2010, in Valdivia Bank (central sector of the Walvis Ridge), where a multidisciplinary study was carried out. The data provided of this project have been the basis of the present work. The main objectives have been the morphometric and morphological characterization within the Bank of Valdivia and the determination of the oceanographic conditions and of the water masses that have favored the modelling of the morphology of the seabed in this sector...
