Racing yacht delivers important data from remote ocean regionsAfter about three thousand nautical miles across the Atlantic, racing yacht Malizia with skipper Boris Herrmann reaches New York this week. This ocean crossing attracted a lot of attention because of a special passenger: The Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and her father are on board Malizia. At the same time, sensors that have been installed in the yacht more than a year ago, provide important data for oceanography and climate research. The project is a joint initiative of GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, the Kiel research network "The Future Ocean" and the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg.
