| Purpose | |
| Abstract | The overarching goal of MSM58 was to gain knowledge about the natural variability of the STG and Azores Front system as well as on changes in the deepwater composition and geometry in the eastern and western North Atlantic Basins. This new knowledge should assist to gain a better understanding of the complex interactions between freshwater fluxes from glaciated continents, surface and subsurface heat storage patterns as well as paleoproductivity and nutrient inventory changes within the subtropical to subpolar Central North Atlantic, including associated deep-water circulation changes. Though multibeam data has been recorded, it was not a major focus of MSM58 and the responsible party has not provided further information. |
