Purpose
Abstract During cruise M16/4 hydrogeological measurements were done to study the water mass transport in the Western tropical Atlantic using different current meter. This cruise was a part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE). Additionally CTD systems were used to gain water samples, which were analyzed to study geochemical tracer concertation differences. 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.
