Undervolts abort, lowered threshold by 1 V to 11.5

Battery was sagged, 600 m segment just in case.

Figure out proper undervolts for 4 series deep.

Switching to cross track sampling. Lowered pump throw a bit to save power. Also changed all pitch angles to .45 rad

Gliders moved to Scripps moorings for cross-calibration and because Prowler were being serviced. Back to 1000 m for calibrations.

SB salinity shift response - cell issue. So far hasn't happened since the last event.

Switching shape to 500 m box but only crossing through middle twice in 2 laps, one horiz, one vertical. Should be less turns overall. Clockwise, across, CC, up

Still .9 profiles/hour, changing pitch to 30 deg and + 60 more cc total.

Started station keeping at P4 mooring theoretical location. Actual mooring looks north of us.

double yo's to 700 m at 440 cc @ 26 deg came in at about .9 profiles/hour. Trying 28 degrees @ 700 @ 440 cc

First shape is ~ 500 m sided pinwheel square.

SWOT HD_pump 1

Lithium primary 4-series

Created by: kerfoot @ 2023-03-30 21:20:28Operations

per Nicole Waite: RU32 is flying out Monterey Canyon and then straight out to the SWOT site.... I think we might be flying a transect by all the mooring spots, and then ultimately station keeping at one of the mooring locations. But, I'm not sure on all the details once we get to the SWOT site - and it could change based on if they get moorings fixed, etc.
