Abstract

The development of the NESTOR project requires detailed knowledge of the hydrological conditions and water transport at the neutrino telescope deployment site. Mooring data in bottom boundary layer at five sites within the NESTOR area of the Ionian Sea (Mediterranean) are summarised. The data were obtained during the 45th Cruise of R/V Dmitry Mendeleev (October-November 1989) and the 29th Cruise of the R/V Academician Mstislav Keldysh (October-November 1992)
