<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">After a very successful day of science on Friday (see photos below and attached report from Ernesto Rodriguez), we start this week unfortunately with suboptimal experimental conditions. The ONR Task Force
Ocean (TFO) site to be sampled today by DopplerScatt, MOSES, MASS, Scripps wave gliders and other in situ platforms has an appreciable amount of cloud cover as well as relatively low surface winds. Both the AFRC B200 and TOI Twin Otter are on standby for takeoff
no earlier than 1300L and the team expects an update on the conditions at the TFO site around 1130L.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
