Visualisation of 5-daily near-surface speed (100m depth) projected on surface elevation combined with sea ice cover from the high-resolution VIKING20X simulation for the period 2000 to 2009

In early 2017 we deployed eight KOSMOS [a] mesocosm units (53 m^3 each) close to ‘Isla San Lorenzo’ about 4.5 nm off-shore the Peruvian coastline (-12.0554667°, -077.2347667°). The aim of the study was to improve our mechanistic understanding of processes controlling pl...

Animation der simulierten 5-tägigen Oberflächentemperatur (SST) im Atlantik projeziert auf die Oberflächenauslenkung (SSH), zusätzlich überlagert mit der Eisdicke. Die Daten basieren auf den simulierten Jahren 2012 bis 2018 der hochauflösenden VIKING20X-Konfiguration. D...

In austral summer 2017 (coincidently during a coastal El Nino event) we deployed eight KOSMOS mesocosm units (53 m3 each) about 4.5 nm off-shore the Peruvian coastline (-12.0554667°, -077.2347667°). The aim of the study was to gather mechanistic understanding of process...

An animated film about the climate goals of the Paris Agreement 2015 and the role of negative emissions: Can we achieve the "Well-below-2°C" target? Do we need so-called »negative emissions« in order to achieve this ambitious goal? What methods are considered to remove ...

AtlantOS aims to improve ocean observing by strengthening international collaboration, sharing of ocean observing and by promoting engagement and innovation. The vision is to create together with the ocean community a coordinated, efficient, sustainable and purposeful s...

On November 11, 2017, GEOMAR and INDP celebrated the inauguration of the "Ocean Science Centre Mindelo (OSCM)". After 3 years of planning and construction works the building has now been handed over to science. The tropical and subtropical Northeast Atlantic is a very e...

In July 2010 the authors observed two mating specimens of Clione limacina (Phipps, 1774) in the surface water of the Arctic Kongsfjord, Svalbard (78° 57.6564' N, 12° 2.55558' E). Clione limacina is a holopelagic gastropod mollusc that belongs to the monophyletic group P...
