Beschreibung:
The cruises "Valdivia" 10 and "Meteor" 39/1975 had geological and geophysical investigations as focal points. They covered the northwest African continental margin between Morocco (33.5° N) and the southernmost Senegal (12° N) with the purpose:
1) to fill gaps from previous "Meteor" cruises,
2) to contribute to post-site surveys for DSDP Leg 41 (sites 367-370) and 3) to provide pre-site surveys for DSDP Legs 47 and 51 and IPOD crustal site 7 area around 21° N/32° W. The equipment used was similar to "Meteor" cruise 25/1971 with the main exceptions being the new multi-channel, digital seismic system of the BGR (Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe, Hannover) (Meteor 39-1), refraction seismic buoys, the Kiel multisonde for measuring physical oceanographic parameters (Meteor 39-2) and continuous television observations from a slowly moving ship (Valdivia 10-3). The activities are summarized in Table 1. The scien1ific goals, cruise log, equipment used, participants, profiles and station lists as well as some preliminary results form the contents of the report.
