Abstract:
The Nansen Legacy cruise Q3 (Q3: 3rd quarter of the year) initiated the seasonal investigation of the northern Barents Sea and adjacent Arctic Basin. The cruise focused on comparing the state of the physical, chemical and biological conditions along the Nansen Legacy main transect in open waters and within the sea ice, addressing objectives of the work packages ‘Physical drivers’ (Research Foci 1), ‘Human impact’ (Research Foci 2) and ‘The living Barents Sea’ (Research Foci 3).
