It was a beautiful day on the water. Fair winds and blue skies dominated the weather throughout most of the day. Mooring operations went smoothly and we've begun our CTD operations this evening, starting with ML_15 and moving west.
For those of you looking to avoid work this morning (OK, that's everyone), I've uploaded a mooring deployment time lapse done earlier today. The mooring deployed at WG_01 is pretty short (~40 m) and was deployed pretty much all at once off the stern of the ship. It consists of an ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler), 2 SBE-37 Microcats which record temperature and conductivity, and an acoustic release attached to a train wheel anchor (see associated mooring diagram). Click here to see the deployment in it's entirety. I've recorded the deployment of a much longer mooring done earlier in the day, but the bandwidth available on the ship precludes me from posting it on YouTube. Lorenza's post is coming soon!
