To monitor particle fluxes and near bottom hydrographic variability a modified version of the benthic Bottom Boundary (BOBO) lander was deployed at 57° 29.09 N, 27° 54.53 W on the Gardar Drift at a water depth of 2630 m. These measurements cover the period from 16/09/2007 to 09/09/2008. Salinity and...
