Fig. 3.12 In situ measured oxygen profile (dots, Holby and Riess 1996). In addition, an oxygen profile which was also measured ex situ with a micro-electrode is shown (circles, Enneking et al. 1996). The sample was obtained with a multicorer tube. Both profiles were measured in the course of the Meteor M 34/2 expedition at the same time and from the same location in an upwelling area off Namibia, at a depth of approx. 1,300 m below sea level.

We were fortunate to launch numerous expeditions within the course of our studies in which several research vessels were employed, especially the RV METEOR. We owe gratitude to the captains and crews of these ships for their commitment and services even at times when duty at sea was rough. All chapters of this book were subject to an international process of review. Although all colleagues involved have been mentioned elsewhere, we would like to express our gratitude to them once more at this point. Owing to their great commitment they have made influential contributions as to contents and character of this book.
