From pole to pole: 33 years of physical oceanography onboard R/V Polarstern
Measuring temperature and salinity profiles in the world’s oceans is crucial to understanding ocean dynamics and its influence on the heat budget, the water cycle, the marine environment and on our climate. Since 1983 the German research vessel and icebreaker Polarstern has been the platform of nume...
