Purpose
Abstract The purpose of cruise MSM45 was to better understand the natural climate variability in the Labrador Sea and unravel interactions between melt-water events and Labrador Sea deep-water formation. The 17 multi-beam bathymetry and sediment echo-sounder surveys amount to about 2000 nm in total and could be measured without any problems.
