The main purpose of the ALKOR cruise AL541 was the training of students in observational techniques used in physical oceanography. The students who participated in the trip attend the module "Measurement Methods of Oceanography" which is offered in the Bachelor program "Physics of the Earth System" at CAU Kiel. During the AL541 the students were instructed in instrument calibration and in the interpretation of measurement data at sea. In addition, the
students had the opportunity to learn about working and living at sea and to explore and study the impact of physical processes on the western Baltic Sea, the sea at their doorstep. In addition, the students had the opportunity to learn about working and living at sea and to
