Research cruises
The scientific work in the Experimental Oceanography group is based to a large extent on measured data. They are collected on cruises with a research ship or by autonomous instruments which are deployed from a ship. In the following research cruises carried out by the IFM are listed; links are set to the cruise reports, a list of planned cruises and of cruises prior to 2002. Special education cruises of students are marked in red.
