The Gotland Deep Environmental Sampling Station in the Baltic Sea

The Gotland Deep Environmental Sampling Station (GODESS) in the Eastern Gotland Basin of the Baltic Sea is a profiling mooring taking profiling measurements with an interdisciplinary suite of sensors. Profiles are taken between 180 m and 30 m depth through the redoxcline that is typical in the deep basins of the Baltic Sea. The profiling mooring allows to take multiple profiles over extended times (e.g. two daily profiles over a time of three months) and therefore enables investigations of the dynamics of the redoxcline on timescales not accessible by ship based investigations.
