Today we filtered 100 liters of sea water to calibrate the sensors of our surface drifters. The sensors measure temperature and conductivity at the sea surface while the drifters are moving with tides and currents. #NorthSatX #RVHeincke ICBM_uol | @icbm-uol.bsky.social ZfMarS DFKI @UniOldenburg

Yo-yo profiling in the river Ems estuary. 300 CTD profiles during one tidal cycle in 15 hours to understand the complex exchange processes of riverine water into the open North Sea. #RV_Heincke #HE614 ZfMarS ICBM_uol | @icbm-uol.bsky.social @UniOldenburg
