Comments
The miracle run with the weather continues. We finished the last three current meter moorings yesterday, thanks to the good weather and excellent work from all involved. We completed another four CTD stations overnight. The weather is expected to deteriorate later today and stay marginal for several days. After one more CTD station on this line, we will steam back northeast to pick up the 7 CTD stations we missed when using the good weather for the mooring work. REGARDS Steve, Mark and Peter
