Hello everyone, we have begun work on the Mooring Line.  During the day, The University of Washington group and the Atlantis Crew worked on mooring recoveries and deployments on the Mooring Line.  Tonight, we are following right behind them, conducting CTD casts and collecting water for many different types of analysis.  

Tomorrow, you can expect a blog post from PhD student Lorenza Raimondi.  She is specializing in "Carbon Cycle Chemistry" at Dalhousie University, but I won't ruin it by giving too much away.  Expect more guest posts over the next few days as I've become increasingly boring.

This is our current location.  We are generally heading west as we complete the mooring line.  The air temperature right now is about 2.3 degrees Celsius.
