NoSoAT Miniboat Prediction Challenge: Where will miniboat Schnelle welle be in one month? 
The ‘North-South Atlantic Training Transect’ (NoSoAT) is a scientific research expedition to observe the ocean. The 2022 NoSoAT expedition PS132 is happening right now onboard the R/V Polarstern (between 31 August and 29 September 2022) and will be launching three miniboats. A fourth miniboat in the NF-POGO fleet will be launched from the R/V Algoa during September off the coast of South Africa. Together they are the NF-POGO Miniboat Fleet. 

The first in the fleet to be launched was the Schnelle Welle (Fast Wave). It was launched on September 10, 2022 at 22°26.105'N, 20°35.457'W (red dot on map below). 

Review the ocean conditions in the Atlantic from the Educational Passages Path Analysis Tool. Zoom into where Schnelle welle was launched and explore the data there.

Now make a prediction! Where do you think this miniboat will be in one month, on October 10, 2022? Fill out the form below.

We will announce the winner of the challenge after October 10.
