White star indicates the crater area where plankton tows, box-cores and water sampling were conducted, detailed bathymetry can be found in Ofstad et al. [ 30 ]. Red lines are Atlantic Water inflows, blue line is Arctic Water outflows, and the green line is a coastal current. Abbreviations: NwAC Norwegian Atlantic current, WSC West Spitsbergen current, ESC East Spitsbergen current, NCC Norwegian Coastal Current. Current systems are based on Loeng [ 3 ]. Basemap from IBCAO 3.0 [ 51 ].
