Comments

We are still at Ice station 14, expecting to depart shortly after lunch. It has been another very successful station, with all instruments deployed and yielding excellent data. A number of instruments, including the ADCP and long wave radiometer were deployed during the night and checked every 2 hours. A camera dip was also completed late last night to observe krill in the water column under the ice. The weather continues to be overcast today with intermittent snow showers, but we have completed some heli ops, including an ice recce to the north. Regards, Tony, Dave and Petra.
