Rawdata storage on board

Raw data are stored in DShip system.

Dship

Uncorrected measurement data.


Device name

FerryBox

Data archiving on land

Shortly after the cruise the uncorrected measurement data are available at the DShip onshore system https://dship.o2a-data.de/. As soon as a post-cruise processing is performed, corrected data are uploaded in PANGAEA https://www.pangaea.de/.
