Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:
PS122-1 (or Leg 1) was the first leg of the International Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC). From September 20 to October 4, it started with about two weeks of transit of RV Polarstern to the start area of the transpolar drift in the northern Laptev Sea and the search for an ice floe as the basis for the year-long drift expedition. This was followed by the setup of a network of autonomous stations and buoys in the wider area (mostly by partner vessel Akademik Fedorov) and a central research camp on the ice next to RV Polarstern. During Leg 1 RV Polarstern drifted with the transpolar ice drift system toward the North Pole until mid-December 2019 when the arrival of the MOSAiC partner vessel Kapitan Dranitsyn marked the transition into MOSAiC Leg 2. During the drift of the Polarstern a comprehensive, interdisciplinary measurement program of atmosphere, ice, ocean, and ecosystem properties and processes was started above, in, and under the ice. The unprecedented observational program was very successful and reached the goals of the expedition. Together with the continued measurements during all other legs these observations will lay the foundation for adequately improving climate models to pave the way for a better understanding and prediction of Arctic and global climate change.

https://sensor.awi.de/?urn=vessel:polarstern:max-doas Spectrometer, trace gas Measures trace gases concentrations in the atmosphere based on the study of spectral absorption lines produced in the solar spectra by trace gases. The light collector scans the atmosphere at viewing angles of -1,0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30, 90 degrees, light being transferred to a CCD detector via an optical fiber. The spectrum is collected in the near UV region and VIS region. These measurements are mainly s | no |

https://sensor.awi.de/?urn=vessel:polarstern:wind_lidar_ut Doppler Wind-LiDAR The operation principle of the wind lidar is backscattering at aerosol particles and clouds and the use of the Doppler effect. The lidar operates at a wavelength of 1.5 ?m with a pulse rate of 10 kHz and is eye-safe (class 1M). The lidar measures wind, turbulence and aerosols in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). Wind profiles in the ABL are sampled with a high vertical resolution (15m) and a high temporal resolutio | no |
