Purpose
Abstract M47 was organized to bring together research focused on the Equatorial Atlantic Ocean from very different disciplines as oceanography, geophysics of the ocean crust and reflection seismics combined with marine geology and geochemistry. The third leg tried to research the southwest African continental margin off the Congo river and off the coast of Namibia to study regional stratigraphy, sediment distribution, fluid migration and early diagenesis. The HYDROSWEEP was routinely used during the cruise. The responsible party did not provide further acquisition information.
