Engineer Daniela Voß and marine scientist Dr Jochen Wollschläger, both members of the ICBM working group Marine Sensor Systems, carried out extensive measurements in the upper ocean layer of the Indian Ocean last month during the expedition of the research vessel SONNE SO299-2. The cruise, this time led by GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, was essentially geologically oriented. After the team of geologists had finished their investigations around the active volcano Anak Krakatau, there was an opportunity for the two ICBM researchers on the transit route from Singapore to Port Louis on Mauritius to take high-resolution "en route" measurements of temperature, salinity, turbidity and water colour, among other things.
