The device, which determines the compounds of mineral nitrogen and organic phosphorus in water, will be delivered after commissioning to the O.Yu. Schmidt Laboratory of Polar and Marine Research of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute.
The press service of the institute reported that hydrochemical studies using this equipment will meet generally recognized international standards of accuracy and speed.
The new instrument will allow a better understanding of bioproductivity in the Arctic, namely, to determine the rate at which algae grow in Arctic waters. In addition, such studies, by studying the process of distribution of water masses, allow scientists to determine the degree of influence of these processes on climate change in the region.
The new instrument is also expected to significantly speed up and improve the accuracy of data obtained in the Arctic Ocean. The advantage of the autoanalyzer is that it can operate around the clock. In addition, this device itself prepares calibration solutions. In total, there are no more than ten such devices in Russia.
The first ever jump from the stratosphere to the North Pole was carried out by a group of Russian parachutists. Cosmonaut, Hero of Russia Mikhail Kornienko, instructor pilot Alexander Lynnik and space technology engineer Denis Efremov landed from a height of more than 10 km and landed near the Russian polar station "Barneo" at the North Pole of the Earth
