Media Release: The Australian Antarctic Program Partnership (AAPP) has welcomed the successful completion of a major krill research voyage into the Southern Ocean.
Why do oceanographers send scientific instruments thousands of metres below the ocean surface?
Our researchers on board TEMPO sprang into action, when an unusually long and thick krill swarm appeared on the echogram.
The Predator Observer team has recorded 445 sightings of marine mammals.
‘The entire vessel is on a port list, because we’re being hit by a 40 knot wind that’s screaming down off Antarctica… it’s pretty spectacular!’
The Southern Ocean Large Areal Carbon Export voyage is now underway, aboard Australia’s RV Investigator.
For decades scientists have wondered how the Antarctic krill population is distributed under the shield of Antarctic winter sea ice and the development of the KOMBI provides an opportunity to gain valuable clues at a time when humans cannot readily access this area.
