Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:
The leg 3 drift started on 3 March, 2020, with the leg 3 team having arrived at the floe aboard Kapitan Dranitsyn a few days earlier after leaving Troms? on 27 January. Our drift ended on 15 May, 2020, when Polarstern left the MOSAiC floe, after removing large parts of the measurement infrastructure from the floe, in order to be able to carry out the exchange with the leg 4 team, arriving in Svalbard on 04 June. The drift was prominently southward, starting at 88?08.5'N , 030?33.2'E and ending at 83?23.5'N, 009?06.6'E. Our work concentrated on continuing the measurement program inherited from the leg 2 team of the coupled atmosphere-sea ice-ocean-ecosystem in terms of time series and dedicated sampling work, shared between the teams ATMOS, ICE, OCEAN, ECO and BGC and supported by the LOGISTICS, DATA and MEDIA teams. Leg 3 had special significance for MOSAiC as it covered the late-winter period of as well as the transition to the onset of surface melt. We witnessed temperatures as low as -40?C in early March to 0?C in Mid-May, as well as the rapid transition from polar night to polar day. Ice dynamics - lead and pressure ridge formation - from early-on during leg 3 made it challenging to both reach the measurement sites on the floe and maintain the energy supply required for the time series program in the different "cities". At the same time, these phenomena gave us amply opportunity to study atmosphere-sea ice-ocean-ecosystem interaction. Leg 3 was overshadowed by the global Corona pandemic, ultimately leading to the cancellation of the flight-based exchange with leg 4 which had been planned for early April. After a transit from Svalbard aboard RV Sonne and RV Merian, the leg 3 team arrived in Bremerhaven on 15 June.

https://sensor.awi.de/?urn=buoy:2020t77 SAMS Ice Mass Balance buoy Thermistor string buoys (also referred to as ice mass balance buoys, IMBs) measure temperature and thermal conductivity through air, snow, sea ice and seawater. They are also often called SAMS IMBs, referring to the developer (Scottish Association for Marine Science). The customizable thermistor string features embedded thermistors at a customizable spacing. The temperature measurements and the response to cyclic heating of resis | no |
