Purpose
Abstract MSM56 aimed to study aimed at two major topics in Arctic Fjord Systems: (i) changes of the phyto- and bacterioplankton community along salinity gradients in Arctic fjords and (ii) the impact of such changes on biogeochemical fluxes and chemical modification of organic substrates and metabolites. Though multibeam data has been recorded during MSM56, it was not a major focus and now further details have been provided by the responsible party.
