Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:

This cruise was conducted in the framework of the DFG-funded project "The role of mixing and intrusions for the microbiology and bio-geochemistry of pelagic redoxclines". Special focus of this cruise were the role of lateral intrusions, and the processes occurring near the lateral slopes of the basins, where the pelagic redoxcline intersects with the turbulent bottom boundary layer. These investigations were originally planned to be carried out in two study areas located in the Gotland Basin and the Landsort Deep. Due to problems with the engines during the beginning of the cruise, and the exceptionally bad weather conditions with wind speeds varying between force 5 and 8 essentially during the whole duration of the cruise, however, the observational program had to be drastically reduced. Measurements had to be interrupted three times for up 30 hours due to heavy sea state, moorings work was possible only during short time slots, and the observational program for Area 2 (Landsort Deep) had to be cancelled completely due to lack of time. Details are described below.
