Thursday


Thursday we set sail mid morning for our first station. The plan is to do a box core and run the flex chamber at the site first then launch the Arobat to fly for it's first run through a set coordinance so it can take it's readings. The Acrobat is a undulating system instrumented with many instruments to take readings on turbidity, nitrate, plankton counts, and many more I'll update as I find out. From the data that will be collected over an 8 hour period, the scientists will be able to pick their stations along the course they have set. In the morning we will go back to the 14 stations they have selected and collect samples for testing.
