Purpose
Abstract The cruise MSM42 dealt with investigating the recent changes in the water mass structure and the oceanic circulation system in a narrow region focusing on the vicinity of Flemish Pass and Flemish Cap located at the western edge of the subpolar North Atlantic. 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.
