The aim of this study is to establish a clearer link between contourite features and the oceanographic processes that form them. The data was collected during R/V Meteor cruise M49/2 in 2001.The data set was processed with the software package 'VISTA Desktop Seismic Data Processing Software' (Schlumberger) following standard seismic procedures including bandpass filtering and common mid-point (CMP) binning. CMP bin size varies among profiles between 5 and 10 m depending on data quality and coverage.After the CMP stacking a residual static correction and finite-difference time migration was calculated (Preu et al., 2012 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.margeo.2012.09.009); 2013 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dsr.2012.12.013)).
