Deploying LISSTs in Polar Regions: Challenges and Insights from Ice-Covered Waters

July 7, 2025

In the remote, frigid and – often – ice-covered waters of the Arctic Ocean and the Southern Ocean, complex interactions between physical, chemical, and biological processes shape global climate and marine ecosystems. Scientists use a comprehensive range of sensors, platforms, vehicles and methodologies to study these interactions. This includes Sequoia instruments such as the LISST-100X/LISST-200XLISST-VSFLISST-Holo2LISST-Deep and more.
