Purpose
Abstract Like cruise M26/3 the main aim of M26/2 was to understand more about water currents and their geochemical properties in the region of the Norwegian and the Greenland Sea. Additionally two projects concerning cold water carbonates and the postglacial rising of the Scandinavian shield were topics of the cruise. During the entire cruise Hydrosweep Data were collected- The quality of profiles varies coherent to weather conditions and ship course. Though multibeam data was recorded, it was not the main focus of the cruise and no further information have been provided by the responsible party.
