All Notes (7)
Recovered by Nicole, Lori, Ashley on SeaTow Jennie Lee. Water sampling and comparison ctd cast done with rosette and SB19plusV2 s/n 8199. Net Tows also done.
Weird voltage spike 10 days into mission?
ctd, optics, oxy to every 6th yo initially, then to every 8th.
Oxy going to every 4th.
DMON and RXLive every yo.
