Purpose
Abstract Based on results of several earlier expeditions M36/3 continued research of tbe SFB 313 along the Norwegian and East Greenland continental slope. The goals included biological and hydrographical long-term studies on the Voering Plateau, Norwegian Basin and East Greenland Basin and served to understand the changes in vertical particle fluxes in the water column, e.g. the transport of organic carbon to the upper sediment layer. Though multibeam has been recorded the responsible party provided no further information.
