collaborators have signed up to this project, and many have already set up fast-ice measuring sites at or near their Antarctic bases. Data collected under AFIN include ice and snow thicknesses, freeboard, dates [...] platelet layer from December onwards was associated with an inflow of warm surface water. We found that nearly half of the combined solid sea-ice and ice-platelet volume in this area is generated by heat transfer
strong market exists for the suggested brown algae and red algae, which is likely to expand in the near future. The latter species can also be directly sold to the consumer as healthy food. However, one

Continuous [...] of phytoplankton community structure, including the response to environmental forcing. In addition, near real-time data permits targeted sampling. Examples of targeted metatranscriptomics to assess community [...] Doppler Current Profiler and a CTD-probe, allowing continuous and automatic small-scale observations in near real-time of zooplankton species abundance and behavior (e.g. vertical migration and trophic interactions)
effects of what’s referred to as the “Arctic amplification” of climate change: the Arctic is warming nearly three times as fast as other regions of the Earth. The environmental changes that lie ahead for the
observation strategy for high resolution assessment of marine eukaryotic microbes in space and time in the near future. This involves development and optimization of sampling technology, establishment and comprehensive
having to change the entire net. The approach is a bit like a filled string shopping bag: in spots near heavy groceries like melons, the mesh is stretched out; in spots with lighter items like a bag of [...] important aspects.” Gößling now hopes to more accurately model them with the help of unstructured grids. Nearly as fast as classical models After several years of development, AWI climate modellers seem to have

Additionally, the AWI-Centre for Scientific Diving provides highly-trained [...] Arctic Seas. 2011 ( MARUM & AWI & COSYNA ) SedObs - Comparative tests with respect to studying the near-surface transport and exchange processes with the new COSYNA Lander SedObs and ship-based measurements
