| Purpose | |
| Abstract | Cruise M106 dealt with investigating the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) of the Eastern Tropical North Atlantic. Lateral and vertical mixing and oxygen advection were investigated. The role of zooplankton and particles for oxygen consumption and biogeochemical cycleswas another focus of this cruise. During the cruise CDT data were collected. The multibeam echosounder EM122 continuously recorded bathymetry and water column backscatter. The system pinged at 10-second-intervals with a bin size of 8m. Though multibeam data was recorded, it was not the main focus of the cruise and no further information have been provided by the responsible party. |
