Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:

ACSYS-ABSIS 2003 was a joint project with FIMR and the University of Hamburg, Meteorological Institute, Germany (UHAM). The main activities were to gather meteorological, sea ice and hydrographic observations to quantify the energy transfer and processes between the atmosphere and ice and the sea. The expedition consisted of sea ice, marine meteorological and remote sensing studies. In addition to the RV Aranda activities, UHAM performed meteorological aircraft studies during the measuringcampaign and deployed sea ice drifters. The Aranda operations were concentrated in 78 - 81?N and 0 - 12?E. The expedition was coordinated with the expedition of the RVPolarstern (Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar Research, Germany). During ARK XIX-1 expedition she deployed an ice station at 82?N, north from the Aranda operation area.
