Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 02:05 AM | Dataset Last Updated: October 14, 2011 at 12:00 AM
The focus of this cruise leg was physical oceanography of the area between the Canaries and the Azores within the program of the SFB 133 'Warm water sphere of the Atlantic' at the University of Kiel. The goal was to investigate the ocean transport processes and mesoscale eddies in this branch of the large-scale North Atlantic circulation and to observe the characteristic distribution of water masses.
