| Abstract | The fourth leg of METEOR cruise 60 served the MOVE (Meridional Overturning Variability Experiment) project. The long-term observations of fluctuations in the thermohaline circulation of the western Atlantic Ocean were to be continued on a routine basis. The prime objectives of this cruise leg were to perform extended maintenance at the mooring sites along 16ºN and to extend the bottom pressure array perpendicular to the section. In addition a re-occupation of this section was conducted to measure the hydrographic stratification and the instantaneous structure of horizontal currents.Though multibeam data was recorded, it was not the main focus of the cruise and no further information have been provided by the responsible party. |
