| Abstract | The goals of this cruise M151 were the exploration and sampling of modern and fossil cold-water coral habitats along the seamounts south of the Azores. The key objective being the reconstruction of climate driven changes of the Azores frontal system. The swath width of the EM710 was set to 120°. The data quality was affected by usage of the ADCP at the same time. The sonar was only used in water depths lower then 1000 m water depths |
