Besides that, the prime features of the instrument itself and the planned activities for 2016 will be briefely desribed.[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: German [[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/AlteVortraege2016S1/2015-09-18_Wie_gross.pdf Slides: German][[BR]]Questions: German, English || |
