Purpose
Abstract As no permission was given to research in the Marmara sea, the decision was made to map the bathymetry of the Romanian continental slope. The chief scientist was changed from Heidrun Kopp to Michael Riedel during the cruise. The data quality is affected by the unstable weather conditions during the cruise.
