Purpose | |
Abstract | The MSM60 expedition was the first basin-wide section across the South Atlantic following the SAMBA/SAMOC line at 34°30 S. The scientific program consisted of full water depth sampling (up to 5300m) using the CTD/O2/lADCP rosette system. Though multibeam data has been recorded it was not the main focus of the cruise and no acquisition information has been provided by the responsible party. |
