Multidisciplinary Ocean Moored Observatory (MOMO)
The physical ocean system is closely linked to the carbon cycle and the marine ecosystem. Together with international partners, the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI) will contribute to improving the understanding of processes and systems, so that we can see how the ecosystem adapts.
Through TONe, NP and UiB will further develop existing ocean rigs and oceanographic measurements over the continental shelf at 6°E by harmonizing instruments to national standards. We will also set up sound sources so that we can bring autonomous gliders for additional data collection under ice. The rigs are maintained from the established TrollTransekttokt – whose goal is to use the annual supply ship to Troll as a platform for regular marine observations.
