Purpose | |
Abstract | Scientific work during cruise MSM-53 emphasized on a detailed mapping of water mass properties along 47°/48°N and along the western flank of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) that was combined with comprehensive measurements of the current system. Though multibeam data has been recorded, it was not the main focus of the cruise and no further information has been provided by the responsible party. |
