The researchers surmise that this warmth was only possible because there was no Antarctic [...] Thomas A.

Each node is essentially like a “data extension [...] roughly 600 metres north of the island at a depth of ca. 10 m. The Svalbard node system is located near Ny-Ålesund (AWIPEV) at 78 ° 92'N / 11 ° 9'E – by the “Old Pier” at a depth of 11 m. The systems are
