Acknowledgments

We would like to thank Captain Klaus Bergmann, his mates, and the crew of the Maria S. Merian for their tremendous support of our scientific program and for hosting us so friendly on board. We are especially thankful for the prolongation of the cruise, granted by the Senatskommission für Ozeanographie and many thanks to the chief scientist and science party of MSM11/2 for the generous “gift” of two additional working days. The ship time of Maria S. Merian was provided by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft within the core program of METEOR/MERIAN. The participation of the US scientists on board was made possible by funding from the National Science Foundation. We gratefully acknowledge all this support.
