MOSES (Modular Observation Solutions for Earth Systems)
MOSES was designed as a complement to long-term observatories for investigating the evolution and impacts of highly dynamic, often extreme events. By quantifying energy, water, nutrient, and greenhouse gas fluxes during short-term events such as weather extremes, abrupt permafrost thaw, or rapidly changing ocean currents, the system provides data to study immediate as well as potential long-term environmental impacts. Headed by the UFZ, MOSES is operated as a distributed infrastructure and its component measuring systems are managed by the participating Helmholtz research centers. Since 2022 the system is fully operational and has since then been used regularly in observation campaigns at national and international level.
