Progress at Met City has been good in these last few days. The ATMOS team has been in a groove, getting many things finished for the people that will be leaving tomorrow with the AkademicFederov to go home. Our met tower is mostly functional, although still laid down on its side. The whole installation is taking shape now and is comprised of a truly exciting collection of measurements that nicely complement those made onboard Polarstern. We gave a tour today to a few journalists from Akademic Federov and I was constantly struck, as I explained our instruments to them, by how complementary and well-designed the measurement suite is. Over the course of these many years of planning we actually have done a great job of coordinating a fantastically comprehensive research program.
