Dr Rasmus Tonboe explains what that means.
The research vessel Polarstern is currently travelling from Germany to Cape Town and a group of German meteorology students are reporting on its progress with weekly blog posts.
We bring you some words from Women in Science and Engineering, and those pursuing their professional passion at EUMETSAT.
In previous blogs, it has been mentioned that once launched, Metop-C will fly in a “tri-star” constellation with its sibling spacecraft, Metop-A and –B.
The students following the Polarstern have provided us with one final report on what the vessel encountered on the way to its final destination: Cape Town.
