Purpose | |
Abstract | Part B of M58/2 a long-term sediment trap mooring of the University of Bremen was exchanged (21°W). To compare sediment fluxes a new sediment trap was installed at 19°W. Next to the stations the depth distribution of marine aggregates were investigate using particle camera systems and sample collecting systems of the ROV. Additionally water samples were taken by in situ pumps and rosette casts. During the entire cruise Parasound and Hydrosweep systems were operating. The quality of the data is variable because of changing weather conditions. |
