Deployment silbo-20110623T1215
Pilot Notes
Deployment notification: Hello from Iceland! Silbo has been deployed from the vessel Oddur V Gíslason (see attached) about 10 meters south of Grindavik Iceland in 130 meters of water. Deploying the glider was Chris DeCollibus from TWR assisted by Alvaro Lorenzo of Plocan and Arnar Steingrímsson of Teledyene Gavia. Silbo is running the mission leif.mi. The first single dive will be to ~100 meters and then surface in the not to distant future, if all looks good with the data the next leg will be either 4 yo’s or 4.5 hrs, whichever comes first. I suggest we leave the buoyancy at the present +/- 250 until we get into the deeper water. Tomorrow the plan is that Lauren will start to dial in the autoballast/speed control and when satisfied we will prune back the data in the sbd file. We might want to put the sensors pruned into and mbd to occasionally monitor them. The ebd is presently set to record CTD data every 16 seconds on downcast only. Best of luck and thank you to all in advance for the work that will be put in! Ben Allsup
