Purpose
Abstract Cruise M21/4 concentrated on the investigation of pelagic processes at continental margins. Vertical particle flux as well as lateral fluxes along the bottom were studied using current meters and under water video systems. 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.
