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 EM122 was set to 120° and was running constanly. The data quality was affected by bad weather conditions. Otherwise did run the system stable. |
