Abstract SO152 aimed to study the deep and bottom water pathways in the western tropical and subtropical Atlantic and their variability as well as variability of watermass characteristics. But also to search for hydrothermal activity along the Mid Atlantic Ridge and study the importance of the tropical and subtropical western Atlantic to the atmospheric iodine inventory. Though multibeam data has been recorded no acquisition information have been provided by the responsible party.
