We are continuing activities at first process station including CTD's to 2500m, 800m, 100m, 1000m, 125m, and 800m, ring net deployments, several NIWA trace metal rosette casts, and optical instruments. Recovered G-string floating sediment trap and deployed I-string floating trap. The station location is following the drift of the buoys. Now deploying pumps. Improvements, repairs and clever modifications to equipment continues. Regards Vicky & Karin
