| Summary: | SUMMARY AND ITINERARYBuilding on our cruises and experiences in 2019, we wanted to continue and expand the trips in 2020 (cf. BzPM_0741_2020). In discussion with colleagues from Modular Observation Solutions for Earth Systems (MOSES) and Program-oriented Funding (PoF) IV of the Helmholtz Association, the planned cruise in 2020 served as a joint test case for MOSES instrumentation, as well as the further establishment of the communication between the groups concerning preparation of common campaigns, planning of available equipment, determination of responsibilities and building collaborating teams to investigate processes across the compartments. A special focus was set on the intercalibration of sensors and parameters, by insisting on several inter-calibration times for most sensors, measuring at the same time and location.The data management will be challenging as data from marine institutes / sensors will have to be combined with terrestrial institutes / sensors. All sensors were registered in MOSES data management tool (https://moses-dmp.gfz-potsdam.de/) beforehand. The registration procedure had been considerably improved, now the applicability in practice was to be checked. All sensors and data are now linked in the new MOSES data discovery portal (https://moses-data.gfz-potsdam.de). The decisive factor for the southern North Sea (or German Bight) is which water body and with which constituents it arrives in the Tide-Elbe area and how it is further modified in this area. Thus, the idea arose to continuously trace a group of parameters from the beginnings of the Elbe to the North Sea. What are the main impact factors for terrestrial and coastal water quality during floods and low water periods? Data for a better understanding of the different branches of the relevant event chain were provided by investigations within the Elbe river catchment (starting at the Czech/German border), along the middle course, Tide-Elbe und Elbe estuary (German Bight). To follow the water from the Elbe our campaign started with ... |
