Comments
We have continued with CTD deployment in and around the Dalton polynya. In the last 24 hours we have completed 9 CTD deployments.
This morning we commenced deployment of the underway CTD. Whilst not taking actual water samples the underway CTD can provide large amounts of water property data such as temperature, salinity and conductivity in a short period of time and can be deployed whilst the ship is moving. We will continue with the underway CTD for the next 24 hours on an east - west transect across the polynya.
Cheers
Tony & Lloyd
