Photo: M. Hartig / Meyer Werft The SONNE research vessel has been in service since 2014. It can be used for research by all marine research disciplines. On 19 March, the SONNE will depart on one of its longest expeditions to date. In the southern Atlantic, it will secure the measuring devices of various research institutions. Due to the pandemic, maintenance of these devices could not be carried out last year and now a gigantic loss of data and devices looms on the horizon. The expedition is being coordinated by Universität Hamburg and headed by Dr. Niko Lahajnar from the Center for Earth System Research and Sustainability (CEN). A few of the measuring devices are in the middle of the ocean while others are located within sight of the South African, Namibian, or Angolan coast.
