Data!
Here is a map of our survey (blue line) and station locations (red square and green circle) with three-dimensional plots of four variables measured with the Scanfish. This instrument is towed behind the ship and undulates from 2 meters off … Continue reading
Channel Fever
We’ve put the science of this cruise in the books. Well, nearly. A couple of experiments will be finished up tomorrow morning, back at the lab, but most of it is done. And we’ve got jars of stuff, CDs full … Continue reading
Winding Down
Well we’re about 4 hours into day 6, and I can’t believe that this cruise is almost in the books. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve got a lot of science left to do, but despite the challenges we’ve had an … Continue reading
