Abstract:
The main objectives of POSEIDON cruise P321 were to investigate long-term variability of hydrographic and flow conditions and vertical particle fluxes at the time series stations KIEL2761l1 (Madeira Abyssal Plain) by Exchanging current meters and particle traps at site KIEL276 with additional CTD/rosette casts across the Azores Front; to study the origin and quality of organic particles using water bottles and pump systems; to study pelagic and benthic communities by plankton nets, and bottom grabs
