Marine and coastal scientists investigate mobile oxygen minimum zonesThe nets are in place. As part of the Helmholtz Earth system observation programme MOSES, researchers from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and the Helmholtz-ZentrumGeesthacht, Centre for Materials and Coastal Research, are planning to investigate extremely low-oxygen eddies in the tropical Atlantic until Christmas. Autonomous devices are already scouting the ocean around the Cape Verde Islands for eddies suitable for study. On 23 November, the research vessel METEOR will leave the port of Mindelo for the detected eddies. A research aircraft will support the search from the air.
