Status Report –
From LMG Chief
Scientist, Jose Torres to NBP Chief Scientist, Peter Wiebe
Hi Pete,
It has been a while since the last update. We are currently at the shelfbreak
vic survey station 12. We arrived here at 0100 24 April and have
completed a couple of nice ADCP surveys, a couple of Moc
1's and a couple of Moc 10's with tandem HTI
sampling. Late last night we started getting
some high winds, 35-45, and we have not been able to deploy nets today. We are
running an ADCP grid right now which will give us good coverage of our offshore
station 1a and our shelf station, 1b.
The winds have come down during the course of the day, but the sea has
stayed pretty high. We are hoping to do
some netting tomorrow and then we will most likely depart for our Avian pick up Saturday at
From Rothera we will head for station 4. You saw 10/10 pack at station 40? Was it thick enough to walk on? These and other questions are keeping us up nights.
Best to all, Jose
