Comments

Today we are running multiple towed camera deployments at different water depths and with different frame/sensor configurations. It's been exciting to see some salps and jellyfish popping up on the science operations screens! We are also using this package to verify an issue found earlier in the voyage regarding some discrepancies in the positioning data (APOS), so the frame is currently laden with USBL beacons and still flying well. Looking forward to doing some seafloor tracking this evening using some acoustics instruments (ADCP).

Regards,
Rick & Imojen
