Purpose
Abstract The purpose of the M83/4 cruise was to perform several test-deployments of moored instrumentation at two of the proposed KM3NeT sites, "NEMO" east of Sicily Italy around 36.5°N, 15.8°E and "NESTOR" west of Greece around 36.5°N, 21.5°E. For better understanding of the internal wave field, optical, current and temperature variations over the period of a year. 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.
