Please note that the Magnetometer System can only be operated upon request. Request operations with the Magnetometer System to AWI-Logistics in sufficient time prior to the cruise. |
Magnetometers are used to measure the earth magnetic field. The magnetometer on board of Polarstern is a vector magnetometer that measures the vector components of the magnetic field. It consists of an upper and a lower sensor. |
