Dear interested reader, colleagues, friends and families,<\/p>\n

now we are already more than 48 hours at the Caribbean Sea. The laboratories are all set up (Image 1). Some of our scientists had some issues to adapt to the strong waves. Thanks to the doctor on board most of us feel better and we started to organize the first sampling. Due to the strong wind (wind intensity 7) the RV Meteor is not able to go with the planned speed, so we will reach the first sampling station on Wednesday. We use the time to get familiar with sampling devices and laboratory work on board (Image 2) and to carry out preliminary experiments (Image 3). First sightings of dolphins next to ship amused everyone on board (Image 4).<\/p>\n

Liebe interessierte Leser, Kollegen, Freunde und liebe Familien,<\/p>\n

nun sind wir schon mehr als 48 Stunden auf dem Karibischen Meer. Die Labore sind fertig eingerichtet (Bild 1). Einige unserer Wissenschaftler hatten zu Beginn leichte Probleme, sich an den verh\u00e4ltnism\u00e4\u00dfig hohen Wellengang zu gew\u00f6hnen. Mit Hilfe des Schiffarztes geht es allen wieder besser und die Vorbereitungen f\u00fcr die erste Probenahme laufen. Aufgrund des starken Windes (Windst\u00e4rke 7) ist es der FS Meteor zurzeit nicht m\u00f6glich, mit der geplanten Geschwindigkeit die erste Station anzusteuern. Daher rechnen wir damit, erst gegen Mittwoch mit der Probenahme zu beginnen. Wir nutzen die Zeit, um uns mit den Ger\u00e4ten und Laboren an Bord vertraut zu machen (Bild 2) und f\u00fchren zeitgleich die ersten Vorversuche durch (Bild 3). Au\u00dferdem bescherte uns das Karibische Meer einen freudigen Anblick mit der ersten Sichtung von Delfinen (Bild 4), was sowohl der Crew als auch den Wissenschaftlern gro\u00dfe Freude bot.<\/p>\n
