🎈Every day, our meteorologists on board deploy a weather balloon from Polarstern’s heli deck, which rises 33,000 m into the atmosphere! 🌬️This not only important for our weather forecasts but also for climate models, since data from the #Arctic region are still sparse, especially from the ocean. 🎥 Sofia Kuzmina @helmholtz@helmholtz.social @awi@helmholtz.social
