| Purpose | |
| Abstract | SO208 PLUMEFLUX uses a multi-disciplinary approach to better understand transport mechanisms of plume material in the upper mantle, the geodynamic evolution of the central East Pacific and the biodiversity and zoogeography in this area. The accuracy of the depth data obtained from the EM120 is usually critically dependent upon weather conditions and the use of a correct sound speed profile. During SO208 sound profiles have been used recorded on SO207 in the working area, ensuring the use of the correct sound velocity on this cruise. |
