Catamaran

Caption

The new autonomous research catamaran is able to take samples and to measure the exchange of gases, energy and momentum between ocean and atmosphere. Here, it can be seen on its first mission in the North Sea in early May. The two measuring buoys in the foreground are passively drifting with the ocean currents and collect data in the process.
