The first results of the multidisciplinary expedition aboard the RV «Akademik Mstislav Keldysh» to the North Atlantic in July 2017 are given. Continuation of deep convection in the Irminger Sea to a depth of 1500 m, which began in 2015, is discovered. New information is provided on the structure of the main jets of the North Atlantic Current in the Iceland basin and in the Irminger Sea (Irminger Current), as well as the East Greenland Current. New samples of atmospheric aerosols, suspended particulate matter and bottom sediments are collected. New data on the particle fluxes have been obtained using sediment traps.
