The MARUM CTD-DO instrument was provided by the MARUM Center for Marine Environmental Sciences and the Department of Geosciences, University of Bremen, Germany. The probe was by funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) within the scope of the “M³: Monitoring Marine Methane” projects (grants 03F0765A and 03F0854A). The MARUM CTD-DO instrument measures the pressure near the seafloor, temperature, conductivity and dissolved oxygen every minute at the summit of Southern Hydrate Ridge. Contacts: Dr. Yann Marcon and Professor Gerhard Bohrmann.
