| Abstract | During the cruise M63/1 plankton samples from the water column as well as sediment surface samples and sediment cores were retrieved. The sample material will used for reconstructions of the variability of temperature in surface waters and circulation of intermediate and deep water masses. The bathymetric, sediment-echographic, and seismic survey was integrated into the running work program during the expedition. Besides the continuous recording of PARASOUND and HYDROSWEEP data during the whole cruise selected profiles for seismic surveys were carried out on the submarine fans of Limpopo and Sambesi river, which will revealed a first image of sediment accumulation and sediment transport patterns. The HYDROSWEEP operates at a frequency of 15.5 kHz and provides an image of seafloor topography with a path width of twice the water depth. |
