Research vessel 'Sonne'
Research vessel 'Sonne'
The oceanic research to be carried out is primarily intended to identify the main source regions of the ozone depleting substances. Small boats belonging to the Malaysian partners will be deployed along the coasts of Langkawi and Johor, and in the Strait of Malacca, as well as off the coast of Borneo near Kuching, Kota Kinabalu and Semporna. The German research vessel 'Sonne' will be on site and will be taking measurements in the surface water and the air. Deployment of the 'Sonne' will be under the aegis of the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences (IFM-GEOMAR) in Kiel. The DLR Institute of Atmospheric Physics is also participating in these measurements.
