After each leg of the expedition, the data acquired onboard Polarstern will be transported to the AWI. The data will be accessible by using an SFTP-Service.

Requirements

A personal user account at the AWI is needed to access the data.

How to access MOSAiC data by SFTP

  • Choose appropriate SFTP-Client software (See examples below).
  • Connect to "mosaic-data.org"
  • Use your personal AWI account to authenticate
  • After authenticating successfully you will be directed to your home folder
  • The MOSAiC Data is located in:
pathdescription
/isibhv/platforms/

raw data

/isibhv/projects-dmz/mosaic/export of 'Workspace' on board Polarstern

Please note that all data in "platforms" is provided "read-only"!

Below you'll find examples for Windows and Mac clients on how to configure your SFTP-Software
