Purpose | |
Abstract | The cruise M76/2 investigated the reasons for and consequences of variable oxygenation of shelf waters offshore Namibia in the Northern Benguela Coastal Upwelling System. These variable oxygen conditions impact on the fluxes of dissolved constitutents from sediments to the water column and are modulated by microbial communities.Though multibeam data and CTD data were recorded, it was not the main focus of the cruise and no further information have been provided by the responsible party. |
