Deployment blue-20120401T2023
Pilot Notes
Blue is suffering from the \'compass out of cal\' problem. We had first seen this in the Ross Sea on ru26d. Before deploying ru06 in the Ross, calibrating the old compass fixed it. This glider has a usable compass range of 200 to 350 degrees. As far as which direction sends the glider where, 300+ appears to be northerly, moving west as you decrease. Right now the glider is spinning in circles to hold position until we have a recovery plan. Then we can attempt some more north movement.
