Purpose
Abstract SO171 aimed to study the equatorial current field and the characteristic of the water masses by CTDO, CFCs and ADCPs along 34°W and to study the export of deep water from the western in the eastern Atlantic through the 7°30 N fracture zone by shipboard measurements and moored instruments. Tough multibeam data has been recorded, it was not the main focus of the cruise and no further information has been provided by the responsible party.
