Research Vessel SONNE
Tasks of DSHIP
DSHIP is a highly scaleable and flexible system used to acquire, manage, visualize, and store all the data produced onboard the research vessel. The system organizes and archives the data of the floating laboratory and places it available for further processing onboard and for subsequent evaluations in associated research institutes.
Different Measurement Systems
RV SONNE offers a total of 20 workplaces for scientists to carry out their tests and experiments. The scientists usually stay aboard for a period of about four weeks. Depending on their specific research projects they bring along most versatile measuring devices, which they themselves can integrate into the network before the vessel set sails for a new cruise.
