The captain Javier and his colleague Besay bring all of our equipment and us fast and safe to Gando Bay, the military bay where our mesos are deployed. At Gando Bay the sampling team splits up into small groups and conducts the sampling with our faithful boat<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_596\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/kosmos2014gc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/10\/IMG_4972.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-596\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-596\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/kosmos2014gc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/10\/IMG_4972-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"From right to left: Jan, me and Paul during the sampling on Rita\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/kosmos2014gc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/10\/IMG_4972-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/kosmos2014gc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/10\/IMG_4972-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/kosmos2014gc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/10\/IMG_4972.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-596\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">From right to left:<br \/>Jan, me and Paul during the sampling on Rita<\/p><\/div>\n<p>companions: Rita, Wassermann and C5. The following tasks have to be fulfilled: 1) Sampling of sediment traps, 2) CTD, 3) Sampling Meso water by pumping, 4) sampling Meso water with integrated water samplers and 5) Kiel vision. Conducting all the tasks just mentioned can take 3 hours when weather conditions are excellent (flat sea, no currents and wind) and sampling volumes needed for the day are low but also can take up to 5 hours. From my point of view, sampling at the mesocosms is a huge fun factor. Balancing my time in the lab with bumpy return rides on \u201cPlocan 1\u201d after a successful sampling is the icing on the cake. But returning to the harbour does not mean we are finished for the day. It\u2019s when the hard work really begins. Equipment and especially full, heavy sampling bottles need to be transported back to Plocan as quickly as possible. Here, team work is all that counts; everyone is needed for carrying and splitting up the samples in order to accelerate everyone\u2019s sample processing in the lab. As soon as possible, everyone gathers their samples and crawls back into their labs\/caves with their treasures. This fun but also tiring day takes place every second day and provides us with lots of data to be taken back home.<\/p>\n<p>Alice<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">________<\/p>\n<p>Ein normaler Probennahmetag beginnt um 7:30 Uhr, kurz bevor die Sonne \u00fcber Gran Canaria aufgeht. Das Probennahme-Team packt alles an Equipment, das f\u00fcr den Tag gebraucht wird, in den KOSMOS-Bus und bringt diese zum Hafen von Taliarte. Das Equipment umfasst Wassersch\u00f6pfer, Pumpen, verschiedenste Probengef\u00e4\u00dfe, eine CTD (Ger\u00e4t, welches Leitf\u00e4higkeit, Temperatur und Dichte in den Mesokosmen misst) und die Kiel Vision (ein optisches Instrument, welches in den n\u00e4chsten Blogs beschrieben wird). Im Hafen empf\u00e4ngt uns die Mannschaft von \u201cPlocan 1\u201d und hilft uns das Boot zu beladen. Der Kapit\u00e4n Javier und sein Kollege Besay bringen uns und unser Equipment schnell und sicher nach Gando Bay, die Milit\u00e4rbucht, in der die Mesokosmen verankert liegen. Dort teilt sich das Probennahme-Team in kleinere Gruppen auf und beprobt die Mesos mit Hilfe unserer treuen Boot-Begleiter: Rita, Wassermann und C5.<\/p>\n<p>Folgende Aufgaben m\u00fcssen erledigt werden: 1) Probenentnahme an der Sedimentfalle, 2) CTD, 3) Wasserprobennahme mit Pumpe, 4) Wasserprobennahme mit integriertem Wassersch\u00f6pfer und 5) Kiel vision. Die Probenentnahme kann 3 Stunden dauern, wenn das Wetter mitspielt (flache See, keine Str\u00f6mungen und Wind) und das Probenvolumen gering ist, aber auch bis zu 5 Stunden. Meiner Meinung nach ist das Beproben der Mesokosmen ein gro\u00dfer \u201cfun factor\u201d und ein sch\u00f6ner Ausgleich zur Laborarbeit. Zudem ist eine wellige R\u00fcckfahrt, nach einer erfolgreichen Entnahme, das Sahneh\u00e4ubchen des Tages.<\/p>\n<p>Aber die R\u00fcckkehr in den Hafen bedeutet nicht, dass die Arbeit getan ist, sondern der harte Teile des Tages erst beginnt. Das Equipment und vor allem die vollen und schweren Probenflaschen m\u00fcssen so schnell wie m\u00f6glich zu Plocan gebracht werden. Teamarbeit ist dabei sehr wichtig! Alle werden zum tragen, aufteilen der Proben und aufr\u00e4umen ben\u00f6tigt, um die weitere Probenverarbeitung f\u00fcr jeden zu beschleunigen. Schnell sucht sich jeder seine Proben zusammen und kriecht mit den neu erworbenen Sch\u00e4tzen zur\u00fcck in sein\/e Labor\/H\u00f6hle. Dieses sch\u00f6ne, aber auch sehr anstrengende Prozedere findet jeden zweiten Tag statt und versorgt uns mit vielen Daten, die wir mit nach Hause nehmen k\u00f6nnen.<\/p>\n<p>Alice<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[deutsche Version unten] A normal sampling day starts at 7:30am just before the sun rises over Gran Canaria.
