Purpose
Abstract The aim for leg M39/2 was to investigate the variability of water masses of the subpolar gyre during their passage through the Iceland Basin as well as its transport rates and pathways. Detailed CTD surveys on seven sections and the deployment of current meter moorings and RAFOS floats were carried out for long-term observations of Overflow- and Labrador Sea Waters. Though Hydrosweep data was recorded, the responsible party did not provide futher acquisition information.
