| Purpose | |
| Abstract | SO199 contributed to a better understanding of the origin of intraplate volcanism and the Indian Mantle Domain as well as of geodynamic processes and the biogeography in the south-eastern Indian Ocean. 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 SO199 one sound profile has been recorded after reaching the working area, ensuring the use of the correct sound velocity on this cruise. |
