Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:
Upwelling off NW-Africa produces large gradients of temperature and prigment concentrations at the sea surface, which is also mirrored in underlying sediments. Particularly striking in satellite pictures are several ... filaments of .... pigment-rich waters between Cap Ghir and Cap Blanc extending several hundred kilometers offshore. These filaments transport "Upwelling-Finger-Prints" into the open oligotrophic ocean. The Poseidon cruise 272 served to study both the particle flux in the water column and the influence of the filaments on accumulation rates in the sediment in 4 transects of the NW-African upwelling region ( between Cap Blanc, Cabo Barbas, Dakhla and Cap Bojador).
