The whole group of US and European scientists
fixing the radar to the stable table

On the peil deck of the ship, installing
The radars finally installed :)
We installed all out instruments on the ship which will take part to the EUREC4A campaign at the end of October 2019.

Di colpo, il tempo ha cominciato a correre che neanche I cento metri piani di Usain Bolt. Ha galoppato problemi e drammi, cadenzato discussioni e litigi, vegliato nelle notti passate alla caccia della pioggia. Rallentava solo nelle mie notti sul ponte della nave, a chiaccherare con l’ufficiale di bordo di turno.
Se ci penso, faccio ancora fatica a crederci. Fa tutto parte, in qualche modo, di un mondo immaginario, con una sua aura di mistero. Il ponte della nave, il posto dove si siede il capitano, e tutti i monitor e i mille sensori. Qualcosa di inarrivabile, di mitico.
Ma...
One month in the middle of the ocean:
how does it look like?
This video is a minor attempt to show a little bit of how life goes on a research vessel, doing research in the middle of the ocean, looking at clouds and rain. I was so lucky to be part of this, and I can simply say it was amazing.
The campaign was the EUREC4A campaign, that took place between Jan and Feb 2020. I was on the Maria S. Merian research vessel and I was measuring clouds and rain with two radars, that you can see in the video.
