Title of dataset | Data from Eurofleets+ BENCHMARK cruise |
Narrative summary of dataset | Data collected during the BENCHMARK cruise. The cruise was carried out between August 1-10, 2021 on Denmark Strait, in Icelandic and Greenlandic waters. The objectives of the cruise were to characterise the composition and distribution of epibenthic fauna in the Denmark Strait, with a particular focus on taxa considered indicators of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem, and to survey water mass properties and flow structure in the area. |
Summary of processing methodology | Data processing is described in the cruise report. |
