Comments
The wind picked up overnight to about 35 knts, but has eased a bit and we have been able to continue to work. Four more CTDs completed, as well as trace metal sampling; CTD 62 is on the way up from the bottom in 4500 m of water. Mark Warner gave an interesting seminar today describing what we can learn about the ocean circulation and how it is changing from the CFC measurements being made on board. Cheers, Steve and Deepy.
