Summary: | In January 2018, RV Polarstern crossed the Maud Rise region during the transit from Capetown, South Africa to the Neumayer III research station as part of the PS111-expedition. A few months before the expedition, the region featured the strongest occurrence of the "Maud Rise polynya" in four decades. During the crossing toward Neumayer III, CTD measurements were carried out by use of an underwayCTD system, which allows hydrographic sampling while the ship is in transit. A total of 23 stations between 60°S and 69°S were occupied to a depth of ~600 m. |
