The practical course at sea is part of the University module 鈥淢easurement Methods鈥 and is a contribution to the Bachelor Program 鈥淧hysics of the Earth System鈥 at the Christian Albrechts University Kiel. It includes the instruction and practical implementation of 鈥渢ypical work鈥 of physical oceanographers at sea. The work to be carried out includes profile measurements (ADCP, CTD), ocean/atmosphere interaction (metrological sensors ad parallel measurements with handsets), mooring operations (including handling of sensors), and reference measurements for sensor calibration (salinometer, psychrometer). In addition, it is desirable that the students gain a deeper understanding pf the physical processes of the Baltic Sea, the 鈥渟ea at their doorstep鈥. The work on board will be carried out alternately at stations where groups of 2 to 3 students work. Each group has a supervisor at the stations that oversees the execution of the experiments. Besides data and experiment analysis, the students participate in the preparation of the cruise report. The module concludes with an oral exam, which is typically done in the last exam period of the summer semester.
