Floating ice sheets hitting "Kiel Off-Shore Mesocosm for future Ocean Simulations" (KOSMOS) during the long-term study in Gullmar Fjord (Sweden) 2013
From January to July 2013 we deployed ten 19 m long KOSMOS units in a Swedish fjord (Gullmar Fjord, 58° 16’008 N, 11° 28’680E) close to the city of Lysekil, in order to study the influence of ocean acidification on a natural winter-to-summer succession of a plankton community under in-situ condition...

| Summary: | From January to July 2013 we deployed ten 19 m long KOSMOS units in a Swedish fjord (Gullmar Fjord, 58° 16’008 N, 11° 28’680E) close to the city of Lysekil, in order to study the influence of ocean acidification on a natural winter-to-summer succession of a plankton community under in-situ conditions. Due to floating ice sheets during winter the start of the experiment had to be delayed. Shown here are floating ice sheets hitting the mesocosms on the 9th of February, 2013. The video can be downloaded but it is also available on the streaming platform YouTube |
