Purpose
Abstract Being a part of the WOCE Hydrographic Program (WHP) during M22/5 temperature, salinity, oxygen and other measurements were done on the sea water. The aim of the project is to determine the global water mass distribution and heat transport. Additionally the measurements supplemented the measurements of the carbonate system (JGOFS). 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.
