Purpose
Abstract During the M45/5 sedimentological investigations and plankton sampling were carried out in the North Sea, Azores Frontal System and off Cape Ghir (NW Africa) with the purpose to collect data on the reconstruction of paleo-environmental conditions of these regions. Another subsequent goal was equipment testing, mooring work and water column measurements. Aim of this research was to investigate the glacial-interglacial history of the influence of coastal upwelling. Though multibeam data has been recorded, acquisition information has not been provided.
